Downtown Fred

[Verse 1]
You walked up to me
Cause you knew I was game
And told me the rules
Like you didn’t write 'em babe
That’s alright
Caught your eye

It’s okay to feel but just don’t say the words
Most times you won’t
But sometimes you’ll get hurt
That’s alright
Once or twice

[Chorus]
Cause I’m your downtown Fred
You’ll never see a lonely night
In the wild
‘Cause we need
More than friends
If we’re gonna both survive
You and I

Cause after all, I’m getting tired of all their stories
When I heard yours, it should havе been enough to warn me

[Post-Chorus]
It’s getting kinda latе
Let’s meet halfway

[Verse 2]
I wanted to talk but had nothing to say
You asked me to love but called out the wrong name
That’s alright, we can fight

The rules you made. I was surely glad when they changed. Got ate by flames
But listen – try to see from my position
Everyone was happy to kiss him
I’m gonna miss him

Everyone comes for the tea and the books
If you don’t mind all the come hither looks
Go and find
What you like

[Chorus]
Cause I’m your downtown Fred
You’ll never see a lonely night
In the wild
‘Cause we need
More than friends
If we’re gonna both survive

[Post-Chorus]
Cause all in all, I wasn’t after all the stories
I’m one of yours, couldn’t hang up when you called me

[Bridge]
The time was right I-I-I-I-I see that
I caught your eye eh-eh

[Chorus]
I’m still here, Downtown Fred
(and I’m) almost out of time -oh
‘fore I’m – one – a - your lost old men
Who think they’re gonna die

[Outro]
I’m not that lost
I’m not that far gone if you’re worried
(but) please come back, cause my vision’s getting blurry
Ah what’s the use cause
You’re never changing your ways
Too much to prove – huh?
I must be off my face
