When you're alone and life is making you lonely
when you got worries, all the noise and the hurry
just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
listen to the rythm of a gentle bossanova 
you'll be dancing too with them before the night is over

downtown

don't hang around and let your problems surround you
maybe you know some little place to go to
and you might find somebody kind enough to understand you
someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
listen to the music of the traffic in the city
linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty

downtown

where everybody needs you

downtown

you just cant wait to get to
