I Hate LA

(album: Tangerine - 2020)

I crossed out your name that I tatted on me
You threw me in the trash like bad origami
Hit me like a wave, I call you tsunami
Now I'm drowning in the space, Mr. Melancholy (yeah-yeah-yeah)
And now

Every time I drive the PCH I wanna cry
And I know I sound dramatic but it makes me wanna die
How could you go ruin a whole city in a day?
I hate LA (hey!) I hate LA

La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, I hate LA
La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, I hate LA

Guess I'm not your speed, no, I'm no Ferrari
Broke my heart just like a board, who taught you karate?
It's sunny every day, why can't I get happy?
Ain't nobody here for the pity party (no-no-no)

Every time I drive the PCH I wanna cry
And I know I sound dramatic but it makes me wanna die
How could you go ruin a whole city like a plague?
I hate LA (hey!) I hate LA

La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, I hate LA
La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, I hate LA

I mean...
LA's the shit
But this a love-hate relationship
Love the weather and weed but I hate this chick
Wouldn't go as far as "makes me sick"
But very far from favorite
I hate it when I see you
Out on Melrose in shell toes
Or Highland in high heels
Yeah, I know this weather is ideal
But the city don't care 'bout how I feel
Take a drive to clear my mind when I'm upset
But to my surprise I don't see you on Sunset

Don't know when it happened but I heard you moved away
Funny how a U-Haul turns lemons to lemonade
I was gonna leave but like a palm tree I got swa-a-ayed
I love LA (woo!) I love LA

La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, I love LA
La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, I love LA

I love LA-yeah
I love LA
I love LA, yeah
I love LA
I used to hate it, now I love it
Oh yeah
