Lyrics
Just because, and all her presents from her uptown boys
You know i can t afford to buy her pearls, and when she s talking, my uptown girl
you know i can t afford to buy her pearls
you know i m in love
You know i m in love, she s been living in her white bread world
my uptown girl
and when she wakes up
and then i ll win
I bet her mama never told her why, she s looking so fine
And when she knows what, and now she s looking for a downtown man
With an uptown girl, and now she s looking for a downtown man, with an uptown girl
and all her presents from her uptown boys
You know i m in love, as long as anyone with hot blood can Uptown, i m gonna try for an uptown girl
as long as anyone with hot blood can
and when she s talking
I m in love with an uptown girl, she s got a choice
and all her presents from her uptown boys
And when she knows what, with an uptown girl
She ll see i m not so tough, you know i m in love Girl, she ll say i m not so tough
With an uptown girl, and then i ll win, you know i can t afford to buy her pearls
she s got a choice
