I came to L.A. to be rock and roll Along the way I had to sell my soul I made some good friends that make me say I really wannabe in L.A. I took the time to get to Beverly Laid some rocket tape roll on the 180 Allen and Natasha always make me say I really wannabe in L.A. ( I really wannabe in L.A wahahoo) ( I really wannabe in L.A wahahoo) ( I really wannabe in L.A wahahoo) I take the city in the dead of night I'm burning gas until I feel all right The sunset honeys always make me say I really wannabe in L.A. I came to L.A. to be rock and roll Along the way I had to sell my soul I made some good friends that make me say I really wannabe in L.A.
