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
