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 cant 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 wasnt much to pack 
I felt bad not telling her 
that I wasnt 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
