Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Bridge]

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city

Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty

How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

[Chorus]

So go downtown

Things will be great when you're downtown

No finer place for sure, downtown

Everything's waiting for you

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova

You'll be dancing with 'em, too, before the night is over

Happy again

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

[Chorus]

So go downtown

Where all the lights are bright, downtown

Waiting for you tonight, downtown

You're gonna be alright now

[Refrain]

Downtown

Downtown

Downtown

Downtown

[PreChorus]

And you may find somebody kind to help and 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 forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

[Chorus]

So go downtown

Things will be great when you're downtown

Don't wait a minute more, downtown

Everything's waiting for you

[Outro]
