Lyrics
Well, all the par ties on the streets are talk in’, store front man ne quins sleep in’ in lights.
We used to smoke while we were jay walk in’, like it was your birth day ev ’ry oth er Sat ur day night.
Knew the bands, so we nev er payed our cov er.
Wrote our names on the bath room tiles.
We nev er dressed to im press all the oth ers, they would let us in on our laid back kind of style.
But, boy, you know it’s been a while.
And I don’t know why you don’t take me down town.
Like you got an y where bet ter to be.
Talk it up and give me the go ’round ’round like a good time tease.
I’m on ly count in’ on your can cel la tion when I should be count in’ on you at my door.
Did you for (A)get a bout how we went a round?
I don’t know why you don’t take me down town an y more.
Ohh,
an y more.
I got some plat forms sit tin’ in the cor ner.
They wan na stroll on a cit y side walk.
I got a dress that ’ll show a lit tle uh uh.
But you ain’t get tin’ uh uh if you don’t come pick me up, show me off.
You might be tired, but I’m not.
And I don’t know why
And I don’t know why you don’t take me down town.
Like you got an y where bet ter to be.
Talk it up and give me the go ’round ’round like a good time tease.
I’m on ly count in’ on your can cel la tion when I should be count in’ on you at my door.
Did you for (A)get a bout how we went a round?
I don’t know why you don’t take me down town an y more.
Ohh,
an y more.
Yeah,
don’t know (E)why you don’t take me down town.
I don’t know why you don’t take me down town an y more.
