Downtown Fred

You walked up to me
'Cause you knew I was game
And told me the rules
Like you didn't write 'em babe

That's alright
Caught your eye
It's okay to feel, but just don't say the words
Most times you won't
But sometimes you'll get hurt
That's alright
Once or twice

'Cause I'm your downtown Fred
You'll never see a lonely night
In the wild
'Cause we need more than friends
If we're gonna both survive
You and I

'Cause after all, I'm getting tired of all their stories
When I heard yours, it should have been enough to warn me
It's getting kinda late
Let's meet halfway

I wanted to talk but had nothing to say
You asked me to love but called out the wrong name
That's alright, we can fight
The rules you made, I was surely glad when they changed
Got ate by flames
But listen, try to see from my position
Everyone was happy to kiss him

I'm gonna miss him
Everyone comes for the tea and the books
If you don't mind all the come hither looks
Go and find
What you like

'Cause I'm your downtown Fred
You'll never see a lonely night
In the wild
'Cause we need more than friends
If we're gonna both survive

'Cause all in all, I wasn't after all the stories
I'm one of yours, couldn't hang up when you called me
The time was right I-I-I-I-I see that
I caught your eye eh-eh

I'm still here, Downtown Fred
(And I'm) almost out of time, oh
'Fore I'm one, I'm your lost old men
Who think they're gonna die

I'm not that lost
I'm not that far gone if you're worried
But please come back, 'cause my vision's getting blurry
Ah, what's the use 'cause
You're never changing your ways
Too much to prove, huh?
I must be off my face
