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 everyoneBut 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
