Uptown Lyrics

Uptown

She saw me walking down the streets of your fine city 
It kinda turned me on when she looked at me and said, "Come here" 
Now I don't usually talk 2 strangers, but she looked so pretty 
What can I lose if I, I just give a little ear? 
"What's up little girl? I ain't got time 2 play" 
Baby didn't say 2 much - she said, "Are U gay?" 
Kinda took me by surprise, I didn't know what 2 do 
I just looked her in her eyes and I said, "No, are U?" 
(Said 2 myself, said) 
She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy little mixed up dame 
She's just a victim of society and all its games 

Now where I come from 
We don't let society tell us how it's supposed 2 be 
Our clothes, our hair, we don't care 
It's all about being there 

Everybody's going Uptown - that's where I wanna be 
Uptown - set your mind free 
Uptown - got my body hot 
Get down - I don't wanna stop, no! 

Soon as we got there 
Good times were rolling 
White, Black, Puerto Rican, everybody just a-freakin' 
Good times were rolling 
She started dancing in the streets, oh! 
The girl, she's just gone mad 
U know, she even made love 2 me, ooh! 
The best that I ever had, oh yeah 
I don't usually talk 2 strangers 
This time it's alright 
See, she got me hot, I couldn't stop 
Good times were rolling all night, all night, yeah 

Now where I come from, we don't give a damn 
We do whatever we please 
It ain't about no downtown, nowhere bound, narrow-minded drag 
It's all about being free 

Everybody's going Uptown - that's where I wanna be 
Uptown - U can set your mind free, yeah 
Uptown - keep your body hot 
Get down - I don't wanna stop, no! 

Uptown (Oh, oh yeah) 
Uptown (Everybody's goin', everybody's goin', everybody gotta gotta) 
Uptown (Gotta go, gotta go go go, gotta go 2) 
Uptown (Oh) 
Uptown (Yeah, yeah, oh no) 
Uptown (Gotta go go go - baby, I gotta go, gotta go) 
Uptown (Come on, come on, U, U have 2, U gotta go) 
Uptown (Oh no, yeah, now baby) 
Yeah!
