Sorry if I was a bitch at the party People wanna know like, what's up? Like, what's wrong with me And I say "a lot, it's a lot" Ooh, I've been hanging by a thread I've been tryna break the bread Wear it all on my sleeve If it were up to me I'd leave Los Angeles Los Angeles No offense I've completely given up on taking left turns I just don't do it I'm late I take the long way Yeah yeah, I've been trying to keep up But the Jones' got me beat No, I don't want to compete If it were up to me, I'd leave... Los Angeles Maybe my hometown isn't so bad No, I'm not sad (Los Angeles) I just miss my mom (No offense) Need a friend I can rely on these days They say Midwest is best Not better dressed (Mmm, Los Angeles) But I'm not aiming to impress Just when I'm stressed I'd like to drive to your place (No offense) Is anybody out there? I'm all alone but in a crowd All I'm saying is a dirt road we could drive down May be nice sometimes Hey! I'd just like some inner peace But in this November heat No, this dream ain't feeling sweet Could fry an egg on this concrete Los Angeles Maybe my hometown isn't so bad No, I'm not sad (Los Angeles) I just miss my mom (No offense) Need a friend I can rely on these days They say Midwest is best Not better dressed (Mmm, Los Angeles) But I'm not aiming to impress Just when I'm stressed I'd like to drive to your place (No offense)
