|
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 and 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 |
|
My uptown girl |
|
Don't you know i'm in love |
|
With an uptown girl |
|
My uptown girl |
|
Don't you know i'm in love |
|
With an uptown girl |
|
My uptown girl |
