If you go downtown,

Way down to Baltimore Street.

You just might see my baby there.

Yeah my baby might be someone you meet.

Yeah if you go downtown

And you take yourself a look around.

You just might see my baby there

And the new love that she has found.



She got the right way

Of loading up her gun

But she's got the wrong direction

'Cause she say that I ain't the one.

She got the right way of walking down the street

But she got the wrong direction

'Cause she be walking away from me.



If you go downtown.

No mister I don't like to go there much myself.

I just might see my baby there

And that might break my heart and I don't need the help.

Yeah if you go downtown

And see a beauty unlike any you've known.

Well you know that was my baby once

But now I feel like I'm all alone.



She got the right way of loading up her gun

But she's got the wrong direction

'Cause she say that I ain't the one.

She got the right way of walking down the street

But she got the wrong direction

'Cause she be walking away from me.



The last time that I saw my baby

It sounded so well rehearsed

When I said I'll see you later and

She said not if I see you first (so get out of town).



If you go downtown.

Now mister I don't want to tell you what to say

But if you see my baby there

Could you lie and tell her I'm doing okay

'Cause if you go downtown

And you take yourself a look around

You might see my baby there

And the new love she has found.



She got the right way of loading up her gun

But she's got the wrong direction

'Cause she say that I ain't the one.
