PRINCE - Uptown lyrics

rate me

She saw me walking down the streets of your fine city

It kinda turned me on when she looked at me and said, "Come here"

Now I don't usually talk 2 strangers, but she looked so pretty

What can I lose if I, I just give a little ear?

"What's up little girl? I ain't got time 2 play"

Baby didn't say 2 much - she said, "Are U gay?"

Kinda took me by surprise, I didn't know what 2 do

I just looked her in her eyes and I said, "No, are U?"

(Said 2 myself, said)

She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy little mixed up dame

She's just a victim of society and all its games

Now where I come from

We don't let society tell us how it's supposed 2 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 - set your mind free

Uptown - got my body hot

Get down - I don't wanna stop, no!

Soon as we got there

Good times were rolling

White, Black, Puerto Rican, everybody just a-freakin'

Good times were rolling

She started dancing in the streets, oh!

The girl, she's just gone mad

U know, she even made love 2 me, ooh!

The best that I ever had, oh yeah

I don't usually talk 2 strangers

This time it's alright

See, she got me hot, I couldn't stop

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 - that's where I wanna be

Uptown - U can set your mind free, yeah

Uptown - keep your body hot

Get down - I don't wanna stop, no!

Uptown (Oh, oh yeah)

Uptown (Everybody's goin', everybody's goin', everybody gotta gotta)

Uptown (Gotta go, gotta go go go, gotta go 2)

Uptown (Oh)

Uptown (Yeah, yeah, oh no)

Uptown (Gotta go go go - baby, I gotta go, gotta go)

Uptown (Come on, come on, U, U have 2, U gotta go)

Uptown (Oh no, yeah, now baby)
