Uptown Girl -- Billy Joel


Uptown girl  She's been living in her uptown world  I bet she never had 
an back street guy  I bet her mama 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  And 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's talking  She'll say that she's 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  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  Don't You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl   My uptown girl   Don't You know I'm in love  With an uptown girl

Joel is from Long Island, New York, and always considered himself a working-class, regular guy. This song reflects his surprise at his ability to attract such beautiful, glamorous women. 
Joel said: "The fact that I can attract such a beautiful woman as Christie should give hope to every ugly guy in the world                                                                            (songfacts.com)
