Going Down Town Tonight
Status Quo

(Johnson)


I'm going down town tonight, I'm gonna find myself a dream

I'm gonna dress up right, and be the best they've ever seen

You can tell from their eyes, you can tell from their eyes

That they're never impressed, that they're never impressed

From the way they walk round, from the way they walk round

They are used to the best, they are used to the best


Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight


Why let them break you in with self-sophisticated praise

Cause when the cards are low you see the smile come on their face

If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words

They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say

They will take your attention, just take your attention

And then turn away, and then turn away


Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight


Just one thing before you go my ladies of the night

Just one thing I have to say I've got you, and you're

Confident and debonair you move between the stars

Hungry for those staring eyes that fill your waking hours


Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight


Your face is all run dry with all the echoes of the night

And so I'm home alone, I wash my head and hold on tight

If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words

They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say

They will take your attention, just take your attention

And then turn away, and then turn away


Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
