Downtown
J. Oliver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Go downtown, gonna find myself a woman
Bring her home with me, put her in my house
Go downtown, gonna find myself a woman
One who wants to play cat and mouse

Go downtown, gonna walk around 'til I find her
I need some loving in my place
Go downtown, gonna find myself a woman
Just a small taste of silk and lace

Later in my bed, I'm gonna love her
Lay her down, stroke her right
Go downtown, gonna find myself a woman
Silk and lace, maybe tonight

You know I got to find myself a lover
Bring her home with me just in case
You know I got to find myself a woman
Just a small taste of silk and lace

Lay her in my bed, I'm going to love her
Lay her down, stroke her right
Go downtown, gonna find myself a woman




Silk and lace, maybe tonight
Silk and lace, maybe tonight
