AIN'T GOIN' BACK UPTOWN NO MORE

They treat me white why don't they treat me brown
That's why I ain't goin' back uptown

My baby says she's "too young to use the pill,
We hawe to wait we gotta use our will."
I said now baby "it's a matter of health."
She said "If that's all you want you'd better find somebody else."
So there I was cruisin' down the boulevard
I'm searchin for sinful women
It shouldn't be hard

And then I spot a woman on down the street
I said "Hey babe, I gotta give ya a treat."
She said "Normally now that would be cool,
But if that's all you got you'd
Better find some other fool."

So there I was cruisin down the boulevard
I'm searchin' for sinful women it shouldn't be hard

Asked a taxi driver man "Where can I score?"
He said "Go uptown son and find a whore,
They got x-rated movies and massage parlors
You can get laid with just twenty-dollars
But watch out son you might get the clap."
I said "I don't mind if they applaud."

Came across a joint called Pussycat Pleasure
"Come on in boy and dig some treasure.
We have water beds and color tv.
You can fulfill any fantasy."
Said "All I want, I wanna love a girl."
They said "We've got ev'rything you need."

Big Leroy said "Now son first you show me your money."
I flashed him my wallet and he said
"Give my man some honey."
Honey said "Now strip down, take off your jeans.
Now son this mama's gonna rub you mean."
In walks a dude and asks "Honky you lost?
If you come uptown you gonna have to pay the cost.
So there I was lying on the boulevard
Cryin' and naked, that dude kicked me real hard

I crawled to my jalopy with blood on my head
I drove on home and snuck straight into bed
I've stayed at home now for weeks on end
Whatever I did ain't never doin' it again

I AIN'T GOIN' BACK UPTOWN NO MORE
They treat me white why don't they treat me brown
That's why I ain't goin' back uptown
I ain't goin' back uptown
