Billy Joel – Uptown Girl: Lyrics and Music Video
Uptown Girl Lyrics
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 (uptown girl)
She’s been living in her white bread world (white bread world)
As long as anyone with hot blood can (hot blood can)
And now she’s looking for a downtown man (downtown man)
That’s what i am
And when she knows what she wants
From her time (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 (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 (uptown boys)
She’s got a choice
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 (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 (she’ll say)
Just because i’m in love with an (she knows)
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
Oh, oh
Uptown girl (uptown girl)
She’s my uptown girl
You know i’m in love with an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know i’m in love with an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know i’m in love with an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know i’m in love with an uptown girl
She’s an uptown girl

What’s the matter with the clothes i’m wearing? “can’t you tell that your tie’s too wide?” Maybe i should buy some old tab collars? “welcome back to the age of jive Where have you been hidin’ out…

Piano Man
It’s nine o’clock on a saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There’s an old man sitting next to me Making love to his tonic and gin He says: son, can you play me a memory? I’m not really sure how it…
