Uptown (The Hits Mix) [Controversy Music - 1980]

---------------------

She saw me walking down the streets

Of your fine city

It kinda turned me on when she looked at me

And said, "C'mere"



Now I don't usually talk to strangers

But she looked so pretty

What can I lose

If I, just give a little ear?



"What's up little girl?

I ain't got time to play"

Baby didn't say too much

She said, "Are you gay?"



Kinda took me by suprise

I didn't know what to do

I just looked her in her eyes

And I said, "No, are u?"



Said to myself, said

"She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy

Little mixed up dame

She's just a victim of society

And all it's games"



Now where I come from

We 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



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



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

Girl, she's just gone mad

U know, she even made love to me

Best bed I ever had



I don't usually talk to strangers

This time it's all right

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

It'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 Uptown



Everybody's going, everybody's going

Everybody gotta gotta

Uptown



Gotta go, Gotta go-go-go

Gotta go

Uptown
