[Verse 1]

Well, all the parties on the streets are talkin'

Store front mannequins sleeping in the lights

We used to smoke while we were jay-walking

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I got some platforms sitting in the corner

They wanna stroll on a city sidewalk

I got a dress that'll show a little uh-uh

But you ain't getting uh-uh

If you don't come pick me up (Damn)

Show me off (Wow)

You might be tired, but I'm not

[Chorus]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
