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-bred world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am
