Lyrics:
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bred world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

God you forget how good this is. Three minutes of absolute magic with no even slightly boring moments. And the SINGING! I'm sure most fans know Billy reckoned this album was probably the last time he'd be able to sing like this so he went out in a blaze of glory. That's the only problem. I want to sing along so much but I can't keep up with the high notes or all the ricocheting up and down the scales.

Uptown girl You know I can't afford to buy her pearls But maybe someday when my ship comes in She'll understand what kind of guy I've been And then I'll win And when she's walking She's looking so fine And when she's talking She'll say that she's mine She'll say I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl She's been living in her white bread world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am (Oohhhh...) Uptown girl She's my uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl

Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl was the second of six consecutive top forty hits from his An Innocent Man album that spent five consecutive weeks at number three on November 12-December 10,1983. That song not only was about Billy’s girlfriend at the time and he will later marry Christie Brinkley who also appeared in the video,it also paid homage to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons who inspired Billy to write Uptown Girl with the group in mind.
