Uptown Up Songtext
von Prince

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!
