| Uptown girl
|
| She's been living in her uptown world
|
| I bet she never had a back street 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 her presents from her uptown boys
|
| She's got a choice
|
| Uptown girl
|
| You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
|
| But maybe someday when my ship comes in
|
| She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
|
| And then I'll win
|
| And when she's walking
|
| She's looking so fine
|
| And when she's talking
|
| 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 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
|
| Uptown girl
|
| She's my uptown girl
|
| You know I'm in love
|
| With an uptown girl |
