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.
