"Downtown Lover" lyrics

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 think I'd learn

Late at night
When it's hard to sleep
You show up cryin'
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
Make a good man thirst
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
And I can take the cold of these lonely covers
But not a downtown lover
