Uptown Girl Song Lyrics by Billy Joel
Uptown girlShe’s been living in her uptown worldI bet she’s never had a backstreet guyI bet her momma never told her why
I’m gonna try for an uptown girlShe’s been living in her white-bred worldAs long as anyone with hot blood canAnd now she’s looking for a downtown manThat’s what I am
And when she knows whatShe wants from her timeAnd when she wakes upAnd makes up her mind
She’ll see I’m not so toughJust becauseI’m in love with an uptown girlYou know I’ve seen her in her uptown worldShe’s getting tired of her high-class toysAnd all her presents from her uptown boysShe’s got a choiceOh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh
Uptown girlYou know I can’t afford to buy her pearlsBut maybe someday when my ship comes inShe’ll understand what kind of guy I’ve beenAnd then I’ll win
And when she’s walkingShe’s looking so fineAnd when she’s talkingShe’ll say that she’s mine
She’ll say I’m not so toughJust becauseI’m in loveWith an uptown girlShe’s been living in her white-bred worldAs long as anyone with hot blood canAnd now she’s looking for a downtown manThat’s what I amOh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh
Uptown girlShe’s my uptown girlYou know I’m in loveWith an uptown girlMy uptown girlYou know I’m in loveWith an uptown girlMy uptown girlYou know I’m in loveWith an uptown girlMy uptown girlYou know I’m in loveWith an uptown girl
