Uptown girl; she's living in her uptown world; i bet she never had a bacstreet 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 fine; and when she's talking, she'll say that she's mine; she'll say i'm not do tough; *
