Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...

Uptown girl
She’s been livin’ in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why

I’m gonna try for an uptown girl
She’s been livin’ in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she’s lookin’ 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 gettin’ tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her 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...

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 walkin’
She’s looking so fine
And when she’s talkin’
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 livin’ in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she’s lookin’ for a downtown man, 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...

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
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
My uptown girl
