Uptown Girl

(album: Before The "Boys" 1989-1993 - 2000)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Uptown Girl
Shes been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gunna try

For an uptown girl
Shes been living in her white bred world
As long as anyone with hot looking
And now shes looking for a down town 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 say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love!
With an uptown girl, shes been living in her uptown world
I'm getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
Shes got a choice!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 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 shes walking, shes looking so fine
And when shes talking, she'll say that shes mine
She'll say I'm not so tough, just because, I'm in love

For an uptown girl
Shes been living in her white bred world
As long as anyone with hot looking
And now shes looking for a down town man
That's what I am!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Uptown girl
Shes my uptown girl
Uptown girl
Shes my uptown girl
I'm in love with an uptown girl
Shes my uptown girl
I'm in love with an uptown girl
Shes my uptown girl
