Uptown (Single Version)

Written by：Prince Rogers Nelson

She saw me walking down the streets

Of your fine city

It kind of turned me on when she looked at me

And said come here

Now I don't usually talk to strangers

But she looked so pretty

What can I lose

If I just give 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 surprise

I didn't know what to do

I just looked her in her eyes

And I said no are you

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 want to be

Uptown

Set your mind free

Uptown

Got my body hot

Get down

I don't want to stop no

As soon as we got there

Good times were rolling

White black Puerto Rican

Everybody just a freaking

Good times were rolling

She started dancing in the streets

Girl she's just gone mad

You know she even made love to me

Best bed I ever had

I don't usually talk to strangers

This time it's all right

See she got me hot

I couldn't stop

Good times were rolling all night

All night yeah

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 want to be

Uptown

You can set your mind free yeah

Uptown

Keep your body hot

Get down

I don't want to stop no

Uptown

Oh oh yeah

Uptown

Everybody's going everybody's going

Everybody gotta gotta uptown

Now go go go go go go uptown

Baby got to go got to uptown

Gotta go uptown
