Los Angeles Lyrics

Los Angeles lyrics

each friday night 

i've gotta moan 

cause it's not right 

to be alone 

and i'm alone 



and so i sleep 

wake up at dawn 

and leave before 

the moon is gone 

i know it's wrong 

wr-o-o-ong 



i've got to find some way out of here 

jump on a plane and i disappear 

maybe east of ohio 

maybe that's where i ought to go 



cause living here i've got so down 

i guess that's why i've got to leave town 

to find some place i haven't found 

cause i know that you'll be there waiting 



back, back, honey 

take me back, baby 

i want to stay in l.a. 

back, back, baby 

take me back, sugar 

i want to stay 



when i get home 

the house is dark 

the only sound 

is joey's bark 



been looking for another place a while 

seen every town up in northern cal. 

searching further every country mile 

i saw new york and i like it's style 



but still i've gotta say i love l.a. 

i guess that's why i feel i've gotta stay 

the hot streets and the summer nights 

so lonely 



[ "back, back" chorus ] 



i know it's sad but i love l.a. 

it's even sadder that i'm here to stay 

i might vacation on an isle away 

but this is where i'll spend my dying day 

so now it's time for me get me a wife 

and live in town with her for all of my life 

i'll understand when my hair turns grey 

why i 

i live 

in l.a.
