I remember

standin' on the

corner at midnight

Tryin' to get

my courage up

There was this long

lovely 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

Ooh

Sometimes

even now

when I'm 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
