Transposer:

Uptown girl She's been living in her uptown world I bet she never had a back street guy I bet her mama never told her why I'm gonna try for 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 And when she knows what She wants from her time And when she wakes up And makes up her mind She'll see I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love with an Uptown girl You know I've seen her in her uptown world She's getting tired of her high class toys And all her presents from her uptown boys She's got a choice Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah 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 see 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 Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah 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

Cette chanson évoque l'histoire d'un jeune homme amoureux d'une fille provenant d'un milieu privilégié. Il pense qu'elle n'a jamais connu la simplicité de la vie, et il rêve de la conquérir malgré leurs différences sociales. Il se présente comme un homme « de la rue » aspirant à gagner son cœur, croyant qu'un jour, elle réalisera qu'il est tout autant digne de son amour, même si sa vie est moins glamour. Le contexte pourrait se situer dans une Amérique des années 1980, où les tensions entre classes sociales sont visibles. Ce récit illustre les rêves romantiques et les défis que l'on peut rencontrer lorsqu'on aspire à briser les barrières des origines.
