Uptown girl
She´s been living in her uptown world
I bet she´s never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma 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
Don´t you know I´m in love
With an uptown girl

My uptown girl
Don´t you know I´m in love
With an uptown girl

She´s my uptown girl
Don´t you know I´m in love
With an uptown girl

My uptown girl
