Uptown Girl

Billy Joel

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

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 (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 (makes up) her mind

She'll see I'm not so tough (because)
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 oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh 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 (because)
Just because I'm in love with and uptown girl (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
She's been living in her white bread world (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
As long as anyone with hot blood can (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
And now she's looking for a downtown man (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
That's what I am

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

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