Baby, baby one without a name
Can't you see they're pouring you down the drain...?
(I know, I know, I know, I know...)

Painted lady, crying their on the side
Poured her heart out, kissing them for a ride...
(I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know...)

[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me why are you in it for the gold?
Tell me, tell me why are you selling out your soul?
Tell me, tell me why my baby? (Ugh!)
L.A, L.A why are you tearing her apart?
L.A, L.A why are you spitting on her heart?
L.A, L.A why so shady...?
She said: "L.A made me..."
She said: "L.A made me..."

Stranger, stranger told you what to say
Left in danger, took all your money...
(I know, I know, I know, I know...)

Maybe, maybe leave without a sound
Watch yourself, L.A. don't fuck around
(I know, I know , I know, I know
I know, I know, I know...)
[Chorus]

She said, she said:
"L.A ain't gonna' let me go
L.A owns my soul...
L.A ain't gonna' let me go
L.A owns my soul..."

Oh! (Ha, ha, ha, ha!)
I know, I know, I know, I know

She said: "L.A made me..."
"L.A made me..."

L.A ain't gonna' let me go
L.A owns my soul... no, no, no, no
L.A ain't gonna' let me go
L.A owns my soul... no, no, no, no
