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
Baby didn't say too much she said, "Are you gay?"
Kinda took me by surprise I didn't know what to do
I just looked her in her eyes 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 it's games"
Pre-Chorus 1
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
Chorus 1
Up - town
That's where I want to be
Up - town
Set your mind free
Up - town
Got my body hot
Get down
I don't want to stop, no
Break

Verse 2
As soon as we got there good times were rolling
White, black, Puerto Rican everybody just a-freaking 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 2
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
Chorus 2
Up - town
That's where I want to be
Up - town
Set your mind free
Up - town
Got my body hot
Get down
I don't want to stop, no
Break 2
