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 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
And now she's looking for a downtown man
what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her

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 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 been
And then I'll win

And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
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 blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

Uptown girl

She's my uptown girl
You 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 in love

With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
