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

Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah

Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah

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

Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah

Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah

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
