Uptown Line Songtext
von Shemekia Copeland

Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
Hey, ooh

I don′t get my self-image from a magazine
My mama taught me that I'm a queen
I know a broken heart I can′t survive
You can leave, but you can't take my pride

I'm a brand new woman, I demand respect
Anything less, I will reject
You can pack your things, but don′t touch mine
I′m hurting now, but I'll be fine

I′m riding, riding
I'm riding out my dreams on the Uptown Line
Said I′m riding, riding
I'm riding out my dreams, and I′ll be fine

I know they say big girls don't cry
But they can't see what′s deep inside
You took a little piece of my heart away
But I′m getting stronger day by day


I won't change my looks, I got a natural tan
I′m a natural woman, I want a natural man
I can get more love than I can stand
But I'm not looking for a one-night stand

I′m riding, riding
I'm riding out my dreams on the Uptown Line
Said I′m riding, riding
I'm riding out my dreams, and I'll be fine

Now three years of our lives have past
I′ve gotten over you at last
I got a new job and bought a home
I′m still single, but I'm not alone

What you had I knew wouldn′t last
She dumped you for greener grass
You can come crawling back on bended knee
But I don't want you, I′m in love with me

I'm riding, riding
I′m riding out my dreams on the Uptown Line
Say I'm riding, riding
I'm riding out my dreams, and I′ll be fine


Said I′m riding, riding
I'm riding out my dreams and I′ll be fine
Said I'm riding, riding
I′m riding out my dreams, and I feel, I feel fine
Hey, I feel fine
Oh, I feel, I feel fine
Hey, oh, oh, I feel fine

I just keep on riding
Hey, I keep on riding
Riding, mm, oh

I'm gonna keep on riding
I′m gonna keep on riding, hey, hey, hey
Riding

Yeah
Yeah
