Uptown Girl

Woah, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh oh oh oh oh

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 

Woah, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

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 

Woah, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

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
