[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 really 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
Uh, I didn’t know what to do
I just looked her in her eyes
Ah, 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 gamеs."

[Pre-Chorus]
Now where I come from
Wе don't let 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
Uptown
Got my body hot
Get down
I don’t want to stop, no

[Verse 2]
As 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
Girl, she’s just gone mad
You know, she even made love to me, ooh
Best night I ever had, oh yeah

I don't usually talk to strangers
This time it's all right
See, she got me hot, ah
I couldn't stop, ah
Good times were rolling 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, oh ,yeah…)
Uptown
Everybody's going, everybody's going
Everybody got to, got to
Uptown
Got to go-go-go
Got to go (Oh..)
Uptown
All now
Uptown
