When you're alone and life is making you lonely
|
You can always go - downtown
|
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
|
Seems to help, I know - downtown
|
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
|
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
|
How can you lose?
|
|
The lights are much brighter there
|
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
|
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
|
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
|
Downtown - everything's waiting for you
|
|
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
|
There are movie shows - downtown
|
Maybe you know some little places to go to
|
Where they never close - downtown
|
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
|
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
|
Happy again
|
|
The lights are much brighter there
|
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
|
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
|
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
|
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now
|
|
[Instrumental break]
|
|
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
|
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
|
Guide them along
|
|
So maybe I'll see you there
|
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
|
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
|
Downtown - don't wait a minute for
|
Downtown - everything's waiting for you
|
|
Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown...
|
