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.
She got the right way of saying I love you
But she got the wrong direction
’Cause it ain’t me she’s saying it to.
