Lyrics

[Verse] 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 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? [Pre-Chorus] The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares [Chorus] So go downtown; things'll be great when you're Downtown; no finer place for sure Downtown everything's waiting for you [Verse] 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 listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over Happy again [Pre-Chorus] 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 all right now [Verse - first sections Instrumental] 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 [Pre-Chorus] So maybe I'll see you there We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares [Chorus] So go downtown; things'll be great when you're Downtown; don't wait a minute for Downtown; everything's waiting for you [Coda] Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
