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)
(Ooh) just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
(Ooh) linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
(Ooh) how can you lose?
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
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)
(Ooh) just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
(Ooh) you'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
(Ooh) happy again
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
Downtown
(Downtown, downtown)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-a-oh) Downtown
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-a-oh) (ba-dap-baw)
Downtown
(Ooh) and you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
(Ooh) someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
(Ooh) guide them along
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
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown
