"Going Uptown" lyrics

Baby's puttin' makeup on
Done bought a brand new dress
Said she's tired of always trying
To make it by with less
She's finally come 'round, hey now
Tonight that little girl is goin' uptown

Some people they are happy, yeah
Just living by the means
I guess she just got tired of comin' home
To rice and beans
She's steppin' out now, hey now
It's plain to see the girl is goin' uptown

You see there comes a time in life
When you just can't settle for
Poor and nothing more
She saw those city lights
There ain't no goin' back
To the wrong side of the tracks, yeah

Baby's puttin' perfume on
And headed out the door
Said she's finally gonna do
What she ain't done before
She's got the lowdown, hey now
Tonight that little girl is goin' uptown

You see there comes a time in life
When you just can't settle for
Poor and nothing more
She saw those city lights
Oh, there ain't no comin' back
To the wrong side of the tracks, yeah

Baby's puttin' makeup on
Done bought a brand new dress
Said she's tired of always
Puttin' up with all this mess
She's finally come 'round, hey now
Tonight that little girl is goin' uptown
Yes, she is

She's steppin' out now, hey now
Tonight that little girl is goin' uptown
Yeah, she's got the lowdown, hey now
Tonight that little girl is goin' uptown
Got the lowdown
Steppin' out now

Mad money, mad money
Mad money, mad money
Mad money
