Lyrics

[Verse 1] She saw me walking down the streets of your fine city Kinda 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, 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, ah 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 its games" [Pre-Chorus] Now whеre I come from We don't lеt society Tell us how it's supposed to be Our clothes, our hair – we don't care It's all about being there [Chorus] Everybody's going Uptown That's where I want to be Uptown Set your mind free, yeah Uptown Got my body hot Get down I don't want to stop! Yeah [Verse 2] As soon as we got there Good times were rolling White, Black, Puerto Rican, everybody just a-freakin' Good times were rollin' She started dancing in the streets – oh The girl, she's just gone mad – you know She even made love to me, ooh The best that I ever had, oh yeah I don't usually talk to strangers This time it's alright She got me hot, ah I couldn't stop, ah Good times were rollin' all night – all night, yeah [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Everybody's going Uptown That's where I want to be Uptown If you set your mind free, yeah Uptown Keep your body hot Get down I don't want to stop, no [Outro] Uptown (Oh, ha, yeah…) Uptown Everybody's going, everybody's going Everybody got to, got to Uptown (Got to go-go-go...) Got to go (Oh...) Uptown
