Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you're gonna get up, you might as well get up with me

If you're going downtown, I might as well be on your way

[Chorus]

And I sit all night

I sit still all night

I won't tell one soul

I won't tell one soul

[Instrumental]

I just can't get it straight, you see, and oh well

That distraction inside of me, oh well

I just can't get it straight, you see, and oh well

[Chorus]

If it's fine by you

I am fine by you

I won't tell one soul

I won't tell one soul

[Instrumental]

If you're going downtown, take me with you, I don't care

If I'm gonna get up, I'll just admit it, I only get up for you

If I'm gonna get up, I'll just admit it, I only get up for you

[Chorus]

And I sit all night

I sit still all night

I won't tell one soul

I won't tell one soul

[Bridge]

If you're going downtown, if you're going downtown

Yeah, we can, yeah, we can

If you're going downtown, if you're going downtown

Yeah, we can, yeah, we can

If you're going downtown, if you're going downtown

Yeah, we can, yeah, we can

If you're going downtown, if you're going downtown

Yeah, we can, yeah, we can

[Chorus]

And I sit all night

(If you're going downtown)

I sit still all night

(If you're going downtown)

I won't tell one soul

(If you're going downtown)

I won't tell one soul
