Willy DeVille.....Downside Of Town

         ..I cut my baby down..on the dark side of town..

I left a note on your pillow
With a hand print on your window pane
Calling you just to hear your voice
I knew then I didn't have a choice
Here I am, baby, on the downside of town.

Stuck here such a long long time
Hanging on the telephone line
Please, answer now so I can say
That I will never ever hurt you again
Here I am, baby, on the downside of town.

Packed my things and I took my guns
Crawled out the window and I started to run
Why did I leave ? Did you not want me around ?
She hurts me still since I cut her down, since I cut her down.

Here I am, baby, on the downside of town.

Then I heard that voice that I love so
Why I left I just don't know
Don't hang up on me, give me one more chance
I need to tell you that I love you again
Here I am, baby, on the downside of town
On the downside of town
Here I am, baby, on the downside of townOn the downside of town.
