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 
 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 
 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
