Lyrics for Uptown
She saw me walking down the streets Of your fine city It kinda turned me on when she looked at me And said, "C'mere" Now I don't usually talk to strangers But she looked so pretty What can I lose, If I, uh, just give her a little ear? "What's up little girl?" "I ain't got time to play." Baby didn't say too much She said, "Are you gay?" Kinda took me by suprise I didn't know what to do I just looked her in her eyes And I said, "No, are u?" Said to myself, said "She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy Little mixed up dame. She's just a victim of society And all it's games." Now where I come from We don't let society Tell us how it's supposed to 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 As 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 Ow, girl, she's just gone mad U know, she even made love to me Ooh, best night I ever had Ah yeah I never talk to strangers But this time it's all right See, she got me hot, ah I couldn't stop, ah 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 It'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 Ooh, ooh, yeah Uptown Everybody's going, everybody's going Everybody gotta gotta Uptown Now go-go-go, go-go-go They're going Uptown Uptown Yeah, yeah, now, all now Uptown Gotta go-go-go Uptown Yeah, gotta go, gotta go Uptown C'mon, c'mon, you U have to, you gotta go Uptown Oh yeah YEAH!
