Uptown Girl Lyrics

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 whyI'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 amAnd when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mindShe'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 choiceUptown 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 winAnd when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mineShe'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 amUptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girlMy 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
