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

uptown

as soon as we got there
good times were rolling
white, black, puerto rican

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
