Oh-oh-oh-oh (ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (ooh)

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 (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 (alright)
And when she wakes up and makes up her mind (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 (uptown world)
She's getting tired of her high class toys (high class toys)
And all the presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice (hey)

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
And then I'll win

And when she's walking, she's looking so fine (alright)
And when she's talking, she'll say that she's mine (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 (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
And now I say, oh
(And now I say) oh
