Prince — Uptown

[Verse 1]
She saw me walking down the streets
Of your fine city
It kind of 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 just give a little ear?
What’s up little girl?
I ain’t got time to play

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 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

[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

Good times were rolling
She started dancing in the streets
Girl, she’s just gone mad
You know, she even made love to me
Best that 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[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

[Interlude]

[Outro]
Uptown
Uptown
Everybody’s going, everybody’s going
Everybody got to, got to
Uptown
Got to go, got to go-go-go
Got to go Uptown
Uptown
All now
Uptown
Got to go-go-go
Baby, got to go, got to
Uptown
Come on, come on
You, you have to, you got to go
Uptown
Yeah
