DOWNTOWN

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 ...
