Downtown

[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 the hurry
Seems to help, I know (downtown)

[Pre Chorus 1]
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalks where neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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)

[Pre Chorus 2]
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
Downtown
Downtown

[Pre Chorus 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
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 more
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you

[Outro]
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
