When you're alone and life is making you lonely You can always go - downtown When you've got worries, all the noise and hurry Seems to help, I know - downtown Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty How can lose?
The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares So go downtown, things'll be when you're Downtown - no finer place, for sure Downtown - everything's waiting for you
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 Just to the rhythm a gentle bossa nova You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over 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 - for you tonight Downtown - you're gonna be all right now
And you may find somebody kind to help understand you Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there We can all our troubles, forget all our cares So go downtown, things'll be great when you're Downtown - don't wait a minute for Downtown - everything's for you
