Lend me your handkerchief
Let me dry my eyes
My girl left me in the rough
But I swear I've had enough

That's why I'm going downtown
To rock it down
Yeah, going downtown to rock it down

The woman she's on the run
Let's go and have some fun
Too long I've been uptight
I wanna have a good time tonight

And that's why I'm going downtown
To rock it down, help me
I'm going downtown to rock it down

Rock it baby, rock it baby, all night
Rock it baby, rock it baby, all night
Rock it baby, rock it baby
Don't want to feel uptight
Oh lord, I'm going downtown
To rock it down, yeah
I'm going downtown to rock it down

Yeah, yeah, yeah ooh.. Yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, woo
Lord have mercy, mercy

Lend me your handkerchief
Let me dry my eyes
My girl left me in the rough
But I swear I've had enough

That's why I'm going downtown
To rock it down, good god
I'm going downtown to rock it down

Rock it baby, rock it baby, all night
Rock it baby, rock it baby, all night
Rock it baby, rock it baby, all night
Rock it baby, rock it baby,
All over town, even uptown
I wanna show the world
