[Verse 1]
I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long, lovely dancer in a little club downtown
Loved to watch her do her stuff

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the long, lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat

[Chorus]
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet

[Verse 2]
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
Used to watch 'em through the glass
Well, I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past

[Pre-Chorus]
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street

[Chorus]
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Ooh
[Verse 3]
And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet

[Chorus]
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet

[Outro]
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
