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 and go
downtown,
things'll be great when you're
downtown,
no finer place for sure,
downtown,
everything's waiting for you
(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
just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
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 and go
downtown
where all the lights are bright,
downtown
waiting for you tonight,
downtown
you're gonna be alright now
