Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - Uptown Girl lyrics

She's been living in her uptown world

I bet she never had a backstreet guy

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 she 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 wakes up she makes up her mind

She'll see 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 (uptown girl) my uptown girl (uptown girl) you know I'm in love

with an uptown girl (uptown girl) my uptown girl (uptown girl) you know I'm in love

with an uptown girl (uptown girl) yeay yeay uptown girl (uptown girl)

My uptown girl (uptown girl)

Let me hear ya, motherfucker! One more time, yeay! Yeay! Yeay
