Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you're alone and life is makin' you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've go worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
[Verse 2]
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
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
Listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancin' with him too before the night is over
Happy again
[Verse 4]
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 alright
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown
Way downtown
