Randy Edelman - Uptown Uptempo Woman lyrics

It started out in innocence The way that most things do A thousand people crammed in one place But the only face was you I grabbed your hand and we raced out Hardly said a word I'd only seen you for a minute But I was round in third And we traded on our backgrounds You mentioned I seemed shy Then you laughed And said I'm an uptown, uptempo woman You're a downtown, downbeat guy Within a week I'd moved in At your uptown, east side place We'd make love for hours on a bed of silk and lace And she would get up early And come home late at night She'd have important busainess But my prospects all seemed slight Tired on some evenings She'd get mad and cry I'm an uptown, uptempo woman You're a downtown, downbeat guy The romance soon was over And the lust was getting thin I soon began to relalise The mess I'd gotten in But as always happens You're caught in such a trap You get so used to what's around You can't find your way back So I lived with this arrangement And soon learned to despise The uptown, uptempo woman And the downtown, downbeat guy And then one Saturday in March I decided I would go As I was going nowhere And my mind was getting slow I opened all the closets There wasn't much to pack I felt bad not telling her That I wasn't coming back But this day she was early She looked at me and asked why I said why You're an uptown, uptempo woman I'm a downtown, downbeat guy
