Ooooh, Ooooh

Uptown girl
She's been livin' in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an

Uptown girl
She's been livin' 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

Oooooooooooooooh [x2]

Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love with an
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love

With an uptown girlOooooooooooooooh [x2]

Uptown girl
Y'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 walkin'
she's lookin' so fine
And when she's talkin'
she'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an

Uptown girl
She's been livin' 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

Oooooooooooooooh [x2]

Bourgeoise
Elle vivait dans son monde de bourgeois
Je parie qu'elle n'est jamais sorti avec un mec de la rue
Je parie que sa maman ne lui a jamais dit pourquoi

 

Je vais essayer de sortir avec une bourgeoise
Elle vivait dans son monde de pain blanc
Du moment que n'importe qui ait le sang chaud
Et maintenant elle cherche un mec de la banlieue
C'est ce que je suis

 

Et quand elle sait ce que
Elle veut de son temps
Et quand elle se réveille
Et change d'avis

 

Elle verra que je ne suis pas si dur
Juste parce que

 

Bourgeoise
Tu sais que je n'ai pas les moyens d'acheter ses perles
Mais peut-être qu'un jour quand mon bateau viendra
Elle comprendra quel genre de mec j'ai été
Et alors je gagnerai

 

Et quand elle marche
Elle a l'air si bien

Et quand elle parle
Elle dira qu'elle sera mienne

 

Elle dira que je ne suis pas si fort
Juste parce que

 

Je suis amoureux
D'une bourgeoise
Elle vivait dans son monde de pain blanc
Du moment que n'importe qui ait le sang chaud

 

Et maintenant elle cherche un mec de la banlieue

 

C'est ce que je suis

 

Bourgeoise
Elle ma bourgeoise
Tu sais je suis amoureux
D'une bourgeoise
