I remember standing on the corner at midnight,
Tryin' to get my courage up.
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown,
Loved to watch her do her stuff.
Through the long lonely nights,
She filled my sleep.
Her body softly swayin' to that smoky beat,
Down on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet.
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.
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet,
As she made her way alone, down that empty street.
Down on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet.
Oooh - ooh - ooh - ooooh
And sometimes even now when I'm feeling lonely and beat.
I drift back in time and I find my feet,
Down on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet.
