Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she 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
[Verse 2]
And when she knows what she wants from her time
And when she wakes up, she makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love
[Verse 3]
With an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of all her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
[Verse 4]
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her a pearl
But maybe someday, when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
[Verse 5]
And when she's walking, she's looking so fine
And when she wakes up, she makes up her mind
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
Yeah, yeah
Uptown girl
My uptown girl
