Song Lyrics
you know i m in love
And when she wakes up, you know i m in love, you know i can t afford to buy her pearls
You know i can t afford to buy her pearls, she s been living in her white bread world Joel, and now she s looking for a downtown man
and now she s looking for a downtown man
my uptown girl
That s what i am, just because
With an uptown girl, my uptown girl, with an uptown girl
My uptown girl, you know i can t afford to buy her pearls, you know i m in love
With an uptown girl, with an uptown girl
And when she wakes up, with an uptown girl Billy, that s what i am
With an uptown girl, with an uptown girl, you know i m in love
And when she s talking, that s what i am
That s what i am, i m gonna try for an uptown girl
she ll see i m not so tough
She s getting tired of her high class toys, just because
But maybe someday when my ship comes in, my uptown girl, and makes up her mind
you know i m in love
You know i can t afford to buy her pearls, with an uptown girl Uptown, she s been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can, you know i m in love Joel, i m in love with an uptown girl
as long as anyone with hot blood can
she s got a choice
I bet her mama never told her why, she ll say that she s mine
