Uptown Girl

Billy Joel

Uptown Girl

She's been living in her uptown world

I bet she's never had a backstreet guy

I bet her mamma 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 the 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

You know I'm in love with an uptown girl, my uptown girl
