Uptown (Single Version)

Uptown (Single Version) Lyrics

She saw me walking down
The streets of your fine city
Kinda turned me on when she looked at me
And said, "Come here"

Now I don't usually talk to strangers
But she looked so pretty
What can I lose if I
Just give her a little ear?

"What's up, little girl?
I have got time to play"
Baby, didn't say too much
She said, "Are you gay?"

Kinda took me by surprise
I didn't know what to do
Just looked her in her eyes
And I said, "No, are you?"

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-freaking
Good times were rolling

She started dancing in the streets
Girl, she's just gone mad
You know, she even made love to me
Best night I ever had, yeah

I never talk to strangers
This time it's all right
See, she got me hot, I couldn't stop
Good times were rolling all night
All night, yeah

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, you can set your mind free, yeah
Uptown, keep your body hot
Get down, I don't wanna stop, no

Uptown, uptown
Everybody's going, everybody's going
Everybody, got to, got to
Uptown, now go, go, go, go, go, go, got to go
They're going uptown, uptown
