Uptown

Uptown, there she goes
Wearing all her pretty clothes            
Up down, in and out
Makes you want to scream and shout

She’s down upon her luck and she’s on the skids
She’s doing all she can just to raise her kids

Uptown, there she goes
Wearing all her pretty clothes        
Up down, in and out
Makes you want to scream and shout

She’s saving all her pennies for a rainy day
Holding back the tears until she gets away

Uptown, there she goes
Wearing all her pretty clothes        
Up down, in and out
Makes you want to scream and shout

One day she’ll be free
Just like you and me
Reach out for the stars
And find out they’re still too far

She’s waiting for the knock that’s coming on the door
Dreaming of a life where she don’t cry no more

Uptown, there she goes
Wearing all her pretty clothes        
Up down, in and out
Makes you want to scream and shout
