la (ballerini album version)

[Verse 1]

I've got a love and hate relationship with L.A.

Off the plane, paint my face in the car, park my heart at the valet

I watch the sun sink down over Santa Monica Boulevard

When I'm lonely and I'm missin' home

But other times, I feel like my blood is runnin' Cali

[Chorus]

I've got some famous friends that I could call

But I don't know if I'm cool enough

And what's worse than spendin' time alone

Is one of them not pickin' up

It's hard to grow and time to go

But some days, I wanna stay

I've got a love and hate relationship with L.A.

[Verse 2]

I wonder if I'll get invited to the party

(I wonder if I'll get invitеd to the party)

Yeah, and if I do, will I go? If I go, will I know somebody?

(Will I еven know somebody?)

I'm on my third glass of wine tryin' to find conversation

In a room with bigger names

But other days, I'm lookin' up the real estate

[Chorus]

Confetti's fallin', friends are callin'

But which part is reality?

And if I let down my hair in the ocean air

Will Tennessee be mad at me?

Yeah, I know it ain't a one-way road

But sometimes, it feels that way

I've got a love and hate relationship with L.A.

[Bridge]

Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]

Sometimes, it feels like it's all real

But nothin' here is as it seems

I ask myself, does it feed my soul or my anxiety?

Carpet's red, ego's fed, but it's myself that I have to face

That's why I've got a love and hate relationship with L.A.

[Outro]

Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
