Uptown girl,
she's been living
in her uptown world
I bet she's never had
a backstreet guy
I bet her Mama
never told her why
I'm gonna try for
an uptown girl
She's been living in
her white bread world
As long as anyone
with hot blood can
And now she's
looking for a
downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows
what she wants
from her time...
And when she
wakes up and makes
up her mind...
She'll see I'm
not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with
an uptown girl
You know I've
seen her in her
uptown world
She's getting tired
of her high class toys
And all the
presents from
her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Uptown girl,
you know I can't
afford to buy
her pearls
But maybe some day
when my ship
comes in
She'll understand
what kind of guy
I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's
walkin' she's
lookin' so fine...
And when she's
talkin' she'll say
that she's mine...
She'll say I'm
not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an
uptown girl
She's been living
in a white bread world
As long as
anyone with
hot blood can
And now she's
looking for a
downtown man
That's what I am
Oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Uptown girl,
she's my uptown girl
Don't you know
I'm in love with an
uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
Don't you know
I'm in love with an
uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
Don't you know
I'm in love with an
uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
Don't you know
I'm in love with an
uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
