Lyrics Uptown Girl - Billy Joel

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

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl (uptown girl)
She's been living in her white-bread world (white-bread world)
As long as anyone with hot blood can (hot blood can)
And now, she's looking for a downtown man (downtown man)
That's what I am

And when she knows
What she wants from her time (from her time)
And when she wakes up (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 (uptown girl)
You know I've seen her in her uptown world (uptown world)
She's getting tired of her high-class toys (high-class toys)
And all her presents from her uptown boys (uptown boys)
She's got a choice

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 (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 (she's wrong)
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

Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh

Uptown girl (going uptown)
She's my uptown girl (going uptown)
Don't you know I'm in love with an uptown girl? (Going uptown)
My uptown girl (she's my uptown girl, going uptown)

Don't you know I'm in love with an uptown girl? (Going uptown)
My uptown girl (she's my uptown girl, going uptown)
Don't you know I'm in love with an uptown girl? (Going uptown)
My uptown girl (she's my uptown girl, going uptown)
(Don't you know I'm in love) with an uptown girl? (Going uptown)
My uptown girl (she's my uptown girl, going uptown)
