Takes me right back to my childhood in the 70s, this coming through on my PYE radio. Only one speaker, tinny and fidgety, but it was mine. Great track.
Could you imagine walking into a bar with a piano there and sitting down and singing this song? I so wish i could do that. This man wrote it, played and sang it.
This song has stayed with me ever since I first heard it on release all those years ago. I have never been married or had a serious relationship of any kind lasting more than a year. This song sums me up I suppose but I am ok with it, it is such a great record.
Why has this beautiful song become as rare as rocking horse poo. A masterpiece but perhaps a painful personal memory for Randy? Would love to know just why it isn't available to buy anymore.
it's a fact every situation in life is covered by music , this song pretty well covers how I feel at the moment . but do anything about it ? that's the hardest bit .
Without knowing it I have loved all songs that happened to be written by Randy Edelman. I wish I could by some of his songs before he started doing musical scoring for movies-Like-Last of the Mohicans. Love his Work!!
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 realise The mess I'd gotten in But as always happens When you're caught in such a trap You get so used to what's around That 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 So 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
@2009thewhiteknight Been there, got the tee shirt and baseball cap! My ex wife's dad and I are the best of friends, and he wouldn't p*ss on her if she was on fire because of what she did to me. She set me up and cried the big R if you know what I mean. The man she was seeing behind my back dropped her like a hot potato after she did that.

great song, thanks for that...

i have the best taste of music
it's a fact every situation in life is covered by music , this song pretty well covers how I feel at the moment . but do anything about it ? that's the hardest bit .
I hope you’ve now found happiness whether you walked away or stayed.
Go, Randy!
Perfect, thankyou very much for uploading.

When we had class
great song
i cant say where i dident look for this song
Such an anthem , if your of that era.
Agree Jacqui abd for me late 60s too
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 realise
The mess I'd gotten in
But as always happens
When you're caught in such a trap
You get so used to what's around
That 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
So 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
No comparison today sadly
I don't know if Randy Edelmann knows that this song in a cover version is a very successful Christmas song in Germany.
Anyone have Randy singing "Nobody Made Me " from his album "ON TIME" ?..i have been looking for it for years with no luck. : (
