About Uptown Girl

"Uptown Girl" is a song performed by musician Billy Joel, whose lyrics deal with a working-class "downtown man" attempting to woo a wealthy "uptown girl". According to the Uptown Girl Songfacts, Joel explained to Howard Stern that he was on vacation in the Caribbean when he was playing the piano, looked up, and saw Elle McPherson, Christie Brinkley and Whitney Houston (who was more a model than a musician at that point) standing over his piano in wonderment watching him play. .

Uptown Girl Lyrics

[00:00.84]Oh oh oh
[00:03.39]For the longest time
[00:06.89]Oh oh oh
[00:10.01]For the longest time
[00:12.51]If you said goodbye to me tonight
[00:16.34]There would still be music left to write
[00:22.50]What else could I do
[00:26.37]I'm so inspired by you
[00:29.12]That hasnt happened for the longest time
[00:34.23]Once I thought my innocence was gone
[00:39.97]Now I know that happiness goes on
[00:45.61]Thats where you found me
[00:49.29]When you put your arms around me
[00:52.53]I havent been there for the longest time
[00:57.22]Oh oh oh
[01:01.52]For the longest time
[01:04.33]Oh oh oh
[01:07.33]For the longest time
[01:10.07]I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
[01:14.20]And the greatest miracle of all
[01:20.06]Is how I need you
[01:23.74]And how you needed me too
[01:26.73]That hasnt happened for the longest time
[01:31.54]Maybe this won't last very long
[01:37.28]But you feel so right
[01:40.84]And I could be wrong
[01:43.21]Maybe I've been hoping too hard
[01:48.64]But I've gone this far
[01:51.95]And its more than I hoped for
[01:54.38]Who knows how much further well go on
[02:00.12]Maybe Ill be sorry when you're gone
[02:05.49]Ill take my chances
[02:08.61]I forgot how nice romance is
[02:12.48]I havent been there for the longest time
[02:16.91]I had second thoughts at the start
[02:22.73]I said to myself
[02:25.72]Hold on to your heart
[02:28.28]Now I know the woman that you are
[02:33.77]You're wonderful so far
[02:36.55]And its more than I hoped for
[02:40.12]I don't care what consequence it brings
[02:45.01]I have been a fool for lesser things
[02:50.56]I want you so bad
[02:53.86]I think you ought to know that
[02:57.30]I intend to hold you for the longest time
[03:01.85]Oh oh oh
[03:06.28]For the longest time
[03:09.03]Oh oh oh
[03:12.28]For the longest time
[03:14.64]Oh oh oh
[03:17.64]For the longest time
[03:20.07]Oh oh oh
[03:23.19]For the longest time
[03:34.69]
