Uptown (The Hits Mix) [Controversy Music - 1980]
---------------------
She saw me walking down the streets

Of your fine city
It kinda turned me on when she looked at me
And said, "C'mere"


Now I don't usually talk to strangers
But she looked so pretty

What can I lose
If I, just give a little ear?


"What's up little girl?
I ain't got time to play"
Baby didn't say too much

She said, "Are you gay?"

Kinda took me by suprise

I didn't know what to do
I just looked her in her eyes
And I said, "No, are u?"


Said to myself, said
"She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy

Little mixed up dame
She's just a victim of society
And all it's games"


Now where I come from
We don't let society

Tell us how it's supposed to be
Our clothes, our hair, we don't care
It's all about being there


Everybody's going
Uptown

That's where I wanna be
Uptown
Set your mind free

Uptown
Got my body hot
Get down

I don't wanna stop, no

As soon as we got there

Good times were rolling
White, Black, Puerto Rican
Everybody just a-freakin'

Good times were rolling

She started dancing in the streets

Girl, she's just gone mad
U know, she even made love to me
Best bed I ever had


I don't usually talk to strangers
This time it's all right

See, she got me hot
I couldn't stop
Good times were rolling all night

All night, yeah

Now where I come from

We don't give a damn
We do whatever we please
It ain't about no downtown

Nowhere bound
Narrow-minded drag


It's all about being free

Everybody's going

Uptown
It's where I wanna be
Uptown

U can set your mind free, yeah
Uptown
Keep your body hot
Get down
I don't wanna stop, no


Uptown Uptown

Everybody's going, everybody's going
Everybody gotta gotta

Uptown

Gotta go, Gotta go-go-go
Gotta go
Uptown
