Intro : (x2)
I re- member standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to g et my coura ge up
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club dow n- tow n
I loved to watch h er do her s tuff
Through the long lonely nights sh e filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Down on mai nstree t
In the pool halls the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch 'em t hrough the g lass
Well I'd stand outsid e at closing time
Just to watch h er wa lk on past
Unlike all the other ladies she looked s o young and swee t
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on ma instre et
And sometimes even now when I'm feelin g lonely and be at
I drift back in time and I find my feet
Down on ma instre et
Down on ma instre et
