lyrics

Uptown, let's take this uptown
We can be there fast, anytime tonight
Uptown, why don't we go uptown
I can get us in places, putting up a little fight

Uptown, why not come uptown
In a city this size, clearly it takes all kinds
Uptown, can I take you uptown
I can't get there alone, how can I change your mind?

I'm not seeing things the way they want me to see
I'm just being the only way I know how to be
I don't know how to go through the motions

Uptown, everybody's uptown
Some don't know it yet, and some are in denial
Uptown, they come from uptown
And if their style seems strange, they didn't know they was on trial

They're not seeing things the way I want 'em to see
They're just being the only way they know how to be:
taking the long way, leave on the wrong day, do what the song say

Uptown, darling let's go uptown
Hey we can be there fast, anytime tonight
Uptown, why don't we go uptown
I can picture you there, bathing in the awesome light.
