Downtown Lover

You call me up
You say you're down on me
I got to pick you up
It's just a game we play
You'd think I'd learn
Late at night when it's hard to see
You show up criyin
It's the ace on your sleeve

But I don't need a downtown lover
And I don't want to keep bad company
Too afraid I'll end up like the others
Runnin' up first, runnin' down second

Lookin' down all those dead end streets
I can take the cold of these lonely covers
But not a downtown lover
Those neon lights can make a good man thrist
But the streets of desire will get you into worse

But I don't need a downtown lover
And I don't want to keep bad company
Too afraid I'll end up like the others
Runnin' up first, runnin' down second
Lookin' down all those dead end streets
I can take the cold of these lonely covers
But not a downtown lover

I'm runnin' up first, runnin' down second
Lookin' down all those dead end streets
I can take the cold of these lonely covers
But not a downtown lover
