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? The lights are much brighter there   You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares      So go   Downtown, things will be great when you're   Downtown, no finer place for sure   Downtown, every thing'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 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      So go   Downtown, where all the lights are bright   Downtown, waiting for you tonight   Downtown, you're gonna be alright now      Downtown      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      So go   Downtown, things will be great when you're   Downtown, don't wait a minute more   Downtown, everything is waiting for you   Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
