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'll be great 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 listen to the rhythm of 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 - waiting for you tonight   Downtown - you're gonna be all right now      [instrumental break]      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'll be great when you're   Downtown - don't wait a minute for   Downtown - everything's waiting for you      Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown ...
