"Downtown" Lyrics

/ 5
Song updated, review now!
verse 1
When you're alone, and life is making you lonely
You can always go
Downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown

verse 2
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, and go

bridge
Downtown -- things will be great when you're
Downtown -- you'll find a place for sure
Downtown -- everything's waiting for you
Downtown Downtown

verse 3
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

verse 4
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle Bossa Nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troublesforget all your cares, and go

bridge
Downtown -- where all the lights are bright
Downtown -- waiting for you tonight
Downtown -- you're gonna be all right now
Downtown Downtown Downtown
Downtown
Downtown

verse 5
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, and go

outro
Downtown -- things will be great when you're
Downtown -- don't wait a minute more
Downtown -- everything's waiting for you
Downtown Downtown
Downtown Downtown
Downtown Downtown
Downtown Downtown
Downtown Downtown
