Downtown Lyrics By Lady Antebellum

    well all the parties on the streets are talkin’
    store front mannequins sleeping in the lights
    we used to smoke while we were jaywalking
    like it was your birthday every other saturday night
    knew the bands so we never payed our cover
    wrote our names on the bathroom tiles
    we never dressed to impress all the others
    they would let us in on our laid back kinda style
    but boy you know it’s been a while

    and i don’t know why you don’t take me downtown
    like you got anywhere better to be
    you talk it up and give me the go ’round ’round
    like a good time tease
    i’m only counting on your cancellation
    when i should be counting on you at my door
    did you forget about how we went around
    i don’t know why you don’t take me downtown anymore
    oh anymore

    i got some platforms sitting in the corner
    they wanna stroll on a city sidewalk
    i got a dress that’ll show a little uhuh
    but you ain’t getting uhuh
    if you don’t come pick me up damn
    show me off wow
    you might be tired but i’m not

    and i don’t know why you don’t take me downtown
    like you got anywhere better to be
    you talk it up and give me the go ’round ’round
    like a good time tease
    i’m only counting on your cancellation
    when i should be counting on you at my door
    did you forget about how we went around
    i don’t know why you don’t take me downtown anymore

    break

    and i don’t know why you don’t take me downtown
    like you got anywhere better to be
    talk it up and give me the go ’round ’round
    like a good time tease
    i’m only counting on your cancellation
    when i should be counting on you at my door
    did you forget about how we went around
    i don’t know why you don’t take me downtown anymore
    oh anymore

    yeah don’t know why you don’t take me downtown
    i don’t know why you don’t take me downtown anymore
    i just don’t get it
