How can there be so much pain
  Just livin? day to day it?s easy
  How can you be so sincere
  When you?re whispering in my ear you?re crazy
  
  Uptown squeeze traffic lust
  It?s paradise its lucky dust
  Never bitter or out of luck
  Double or nothin?s hard enough
  Where urban voices speak in tongues
  Hold tight let?s fall in love
  
  I thought I knew you better
  Yes I thought I did
  I hope your dreams comes true
  I hope they come true
  We?re in for nasty weather
  Yeah I know it too
  When I?m alone with you
  
  How can you cry all these tears
  When you?re reeling in them years
  How can you be so out of mind
  When you eat me up alive
  
  Uptown squeeze traffic lust

  Hold tight let?s fall in love
  Oh yeah
  
  I thought I knew you better
  Yes I thought I did
  I hope your dreams come true
  I hope they come true
  We?re in for nasty weather
