Hangin' Downtown Lyrics


You're wishing on a star
It's the only one that sits there
next to the silvery moon
I don't feel too optimistic
but I know I'd trade the world
for what I am wishing would come true
I know you told me more than twice
of the fate that I'd been dreading
But if you walk right up to me tonite
would you doubt that I'd be ready
So I walk the city streets
wishing you were here with me
falling in love again
(baby until then)
I'll be hangin' downtown
kind of waiting
Maybe I'll try meditating
I'll be hangin downtown

kind of waiting
yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Been tied to lonesome roads
making residence in two bit 4 wall domeciles
Never time for what is needed
so I grab a bite to eat
then maybe grab a smile
So hard to give it up
you know I tried so many times before
any price of sacrifice
to see you walkin thru the door
girl I'm tryin to make you see
I'd rather have you here with me
fallin in love again
(baby until them)
I'll be hangin' downtown
kind of waiting
Maybe I'll try meditating
I'll be hangin downtown
kind of waiting
yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Though I walk the city streets
I'd rather have you here with me
falling in love again
(baby until then)
I'll be hangin' downtown
kind of waiting
Maybe I'll try meditating
I'll be hangin downtown
kind of waiting
yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Cameo is a funk group which formed in 1974 in New York City, New York, United States. The band's lineup has constantly fluctuated since its formation, with the only constant being vocalist Larry Blackmon.

An outlandish, in-your-face stage presence, a strange sense of humor, and a hard-driving funk sound that criss-crossed a few musical boundaries earned Cameo countless comparisons to Parliament/Funkadelic in their early days. However, Cameo eventually wore off accusations of being derivative by transcending their influences and outlasting almost every single one of them. Throughout the '70s and '80s, the group remained up with the times and occasionally crept ahead of them, such that they became influences themselves upon younger generations of R&B and hip-hop acts. By the time the group's popularity started to fizzle in the late '80s, a series of R&B chart hits -- ranging from greasy funk workouts to synthesized funk swingers to dripping ballads -- was left in their wake. Further separating Cameo from their forebears, they didn't have a diaper-clad guitarist. Instead, they had a codpiece-wearing lead vocalist, Larry Blackmon.
