Uptown, in penhouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll
just made for me
She's the finest thing
that you've ever seen oh ho ha
Uptown, I see her most every day
Uptown, but she never
ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop
you see I can't stop
And tell her what I wanna say
That one of these days
I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be
my ever lovin' honey
It won't be long
just wait and see
I'll have a big car fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown,in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me
Yeah, one of these days
I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be
my ever lovin' honey
It won't be long
just wait and see
I'll have a big car fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown,in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me

ill get better
You'll find work
and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house
and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job
that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking
late at the bar
See more of your friends than
you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you
and me would find it
I got no plans
I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car
and keep on driving
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough
so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live
and die this way
