God you forget how good this is. Three minutes of absolute magic with no even slightly boring moments. And the SINGING! I'm sure most fans know Billy reckoned this album was probably the last time he'd be able to sing like this so he went out in a blaze of glory. That's the only problem. I want to sing along so much but I can't keep up with the high notes or all the ricocheting up and down the scales.
@@medicmick Yeah if he didn’t smoke and drink so much who knows how much longer his voice could have stayed. Also he looked 50 by the time he was in his 40s

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
(Ooooohh...)
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can

You must watch the his video in this music its cool
I was born in the late fall of 1978. Great Recording! Great Song!
I love all the "retro" stuff on this album - this, "Christie Lee" and "This Night." Retro is cool now, was much rarer back in 1983.
To me, it's four seasons's vibes
