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 

Uptown girl 
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls 
But maybe someday when my [bad word] 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 

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
