Downtown Girl

You just can't see that people care
you turn a blind eye
I heard it could be bad
not to acknowledge what you have
what you have could be
the best you ever had

I saw you today downtown
Wondered why'd you look so down
I'm not the one to say
but listen
Why don't you go, go, go
and read that letter from your sister
check that phone call from your mother
maybe see the mail?

I don't know why I'm helping you
advicing you for the best
It's not a long way
to happiness
But your eyes are shut

I saw you yesterday downtown
I still wonder why'd you look so down
I'm not the one to say
but listen
Why don't you go, go, go
and read that letter from your sister
check that phone call from your mother
maybe see the mail?

Why don't you help your own fate
give it a little helpful push
and see where it leads

I didn't see you downtown
There was an obituary in the magazine
I wasn't the one to say
but still
Why didn't you go, go, go
and read that letter from your sister
check that phone call from your mother
maybe see the mail?

Why, why, why?
