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

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 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 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 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
