BL.A. is fine, the sun shines most of the time,
EbAnd the feeling is laid back.
FPalm trees grow and F7rents are low,
but you F7know I keep F7thinking about,
Bmaking my way back
BWell, I'm New York City born and raised,
but nowadays, I'm lost between two Ebshores.
FL.A. is fine, but F7it ain't home,
FNew York's home but F7it ain't mine no BBsus4more.B
BI am, I saidB, BBsus4Bto no one EbtherEbeEbEbsus4Eb
And Ebno one heard at all, not Cmeven the Bchair.
BI am, I criedB, BBsus4BI am, said EbIEbEbEbsus4Eb
And EbI am lost, and I can't Cmeven say Bwhy.
BLeavin' me F7lonely Fstill.

BDid you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king,
Eband then became one?
Well, Fexcept for the F7names and a few other changes,
Fif you talk about F7me, Bthe story's the same one.
BBut I got an emptiness deep inside,
and I've tried but it won't let me Ebgo.
And FI'm not a man who F7likes to swear,
but FI never cared for the F7sound of being BaloBsus4ne.B
