Downtown
Naomi August Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need deliverance
If you want to come and set me free
Therres no forgiveness
For the way you′re touching me
I've been waiting
My body aching
Spark that lighter up
Tonight we′re blazing

Do you want to go downtown
See the city lights
Its the red light district
Do you want to go downtown

Do you want to go downtown
See the city lights
Its the red light district
Do you want to go downtown

I know you're greedy
But I'm feeling sexy
And I′m feeling giving
Taste my sweet and creamy
Let me paint your mouth
With my graffiti
Oh this mood
It makes me dance
And your body′s looking anxious
Don't you leave it
Leave all to chance
Later on, I promise
We trading places

Do you want to go downtown
See the city lights
Its the red light district
Do you want to go downtown

Do you want to go downtown
See the city lights
Its the red light district
Do you want to go downtown

Do you want to go downtown
See the city lights

Its the red light district
Do you want to go downtown
