 I re- member standing on the corner at midnight

 Trying to get my courage up

 There was this long lovely dancer in a little club down- town

 I loved to watch her do her stuff

 Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep

 Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat

 Down on mainstreet

 In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers

 I used to watch 'em through the glass

 Well I'd stand outside at closing time

 Just to watch her walk on past

 Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet

 As she made her way alone down that empty street

 Down on mainstreet

 And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat

 I drift back in time and I find my feet

 Down on mainstreet

 Down on mainstreet
