Keep a cozy condo close to Berlin

Like that London is a town I've lived in.

Kept a flat in Rome

Called Chicago home.

 

Too many times I took a Tokyo address.

That Frisco studio was a sign of success.

But you got to love LA--Love the livin' in LA.

 

  There's too much traffic, it's got lots of smog.

  Then there's the earthquake scare.

  But something keeps pulling me back for all its problems

  I feel at home when I'm there.

 

The year I hung in Honolulu was fun

Moved to Miami for the Florida sun

But you got to love LA--Love the livin' in LA.

 

I've managed mornings on the isle of Mann

Pull up in Paris every spring that I can

Beach house in Corfu

Nice and Rio, too.

 

Shack up in Shanghai for a season or two;

Hung out in Sydney til the winter was through.

But you got to love LA--Love the livin' in LA.

 

  It's got the beaches, and Hollywoodtown.

  Santa Monica pier.

  Yes, something keeps pulling me back to all its beauty

  I feel at home when I'm here.

 

I found Manhattan never had that pull

It's not too wonderful in Istanbul

But you got to love LA--Love the livin' in LA.
