Lyrics

Down on You

Isn't it a wonder
What I'm doing here at all?
Is it any wonder
About the men who come to call?
The lights look pretty at night
I like the city and night
Where I can do what I want to
And is it any wonder
That the men they come to call?
Isn't any wonder
That I find I'm all alone
Is it any wonder
That the night's so cold I watch my breath while I'm living
The sights seem easy at night
I like the city and night
Where I can do what I want to
The lights look pretty at night
I make a living at night
Where I can be who I want to

Oooohh -
la la la la da down down
down

This love's going down come on
This love's going down come on
His life's going down come on
This light's going down come on
ooooh
c'mon, c'mon, 'cmon, c'mon oh baby,
ooooooh

Ring on - it's a sacrifice
We gonna get it on
Hey you know it's feel right
Wrong oh, sell out to the red light
We gotta get it on
Make a bid for the night
Ring on - it's a sacrifice
We gonna get it on
Hey you know it's feel right...

ooooh

And is it any wonder that the men they come to call?
Is it any wonder
That the night's so cold I watch my breath while I'm living
Is it any wonder that the men they come to call?
Is it any wonder
That the night's so cold I watch my breath while I'm living


This love's going down come on
This love's going down come on
His life's going down come on
This light's going down come on
(underneath)
So down on you
I'm so down on you..
(underneath)
This love's going down
(underneath - spoken)
Is it any wonder what I'm doing her eat all
Is it any wonder 'bout the men who come to call
Isn't it a wonder what I'm doing here with you?
Isn't any wonder I'm so down on you...
