Uptown Girl

Lyrics

Uptown girl
 She's been living in her uptown world
 I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
 I bet her momma never told her why
 I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
 She's been living in her white-bred 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
 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 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-bred 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
 ♪
 Uptown girl
 She's my uptown girl
 You know I'm in love
 With an uptown girl
 My uptown girl
 You know I'm in love
 With an uptown girl
 My uptown girl
 You know I'm in love
 With an uptown girl
 My uptown girl
 You know I'm in love
 With an uptown girl
