Lyrics beta

Intro

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma never told her why

Verse

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

Chorus

She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all the presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice

Instrumental

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

Verse

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

Chorus

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

Instrumental

Chorus

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

Outro

You know I'm in love with an uptown girl

Silence
