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 and 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
