I remember standin on the corner at midnight   tryin to get my courage up   there was this long loveley dancer in a little club downtown   loved to watch her do her stuff      through the long lonely nights   she filled my sleep   her body softly swayin   to that smokey beat   down on mainstreet   down on mainstreet      and The poolhalls, the huslters , and the losers   used to watch em through the glass   well i'd stand outside at closin time   just to watch her walk on past   unlike all the other ladies   she looked so young and sweet   as she made her way alone down that empty street   down on mainstreet   down on mainstreet   oooooh      sometimes even now, when im feelin lonely and beat   i drift back in time and i find my feet   down on mainstreet   down on mainstreet      down on mainstreet   down on mainstreet      down on mainstreet   down on mainstreet
