Crystals - Uptown lyrics

rate me

He gets up each morning and he goes downtown<br />

Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land<br />

He's a little man<br />

But then he comes uptown each evenin' to my tenement<br />

Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent<br />

And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything<br />

Then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king<br />

Downtown he's just one of a million guys<br />

He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give<br />

'Cause he's got to live<br />

But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high<br />

Uptown he knows that I am standing by<br />

And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down<br />

The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown<br />

Whoa-oh oh oh, oh oh oh,<br />

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,<br />

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-yeah<br />

Let me tell ya now<br />

Uptown where he can hold his head up high<br />

Uptown he knows that I am standing by<br />

And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down<br />

The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown<br />

Whoa- oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh<br />

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah<br />

Let me tell ya now, uptown..<br />

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
