You're asking me why the stars never shine here in L. A
If I knew somehow, I wouldn't tell no one
I give you my heart, and I try to please everyone
But you were caught in a lie, now it's time I find someone
I need a lover to right my wrongs
I need a new love to sing my songs
I need a lover to bring me back to when I was young
Ah-ooh-ah, ah-ooh-ah
Ah-ooh-ah, ah-ooh-ah
Ah-ooh-ah, ah-ooh-ah
Ah-ooh
You're asking me why the stars never shine here in L. A
I answer to you the way that I do every day
With a little smile, there's no need to say anything
I've gotta leave you alone 'cause this ain't the life that is meant for me
I need a lover to right my wrongs
I need a new love to sing my songs
I need a lover to bring me back to when I was young
I need a long drive up and down the coast
It's the freedom that I want most 'cause
Sometimes I have to let go, and get back to when I was young
When I was young, ooh
When I was young (sometimes I have to let go)
When I was young (sometimes I have to let go), ooh
(Sometimes I have to let go) when I was young, yeah
Mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm
