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!
