L.A. Lady - Lee Hazlewood

It’s been said that all good things are made in heaven

But somehow I have the feeling the first time we said

«I love you» to each other

The Gods must have turned their backs

And laughed out loud

When you’re up, you’re a king

When you’re down, you’re nothing

And why?

because I told me so

When your backs against the wall

You got no place to fall

And why?

because I told me so

Go ahead and sing your lips at songs

I already know what’s wrong with you, I do

You miss your L.A. L-A-D-Y

Love is short, love is long

She done took her ass and gone

And why?

becaus she told me so

When you’v done all you can do

Let someone do for you

And why?

because I told me so
