She wants to live in an old Hollywood mansion
Feel the ghosts of dead movie stars
See the back of classic cars
She's tired of playing the role of out of work actor
Maybe her friends were right all along
Hollywood was wrong
She said "LA be kind to me"
I know it's so hard to accept me
But there's many of us here who could use some
Of your empathy
Los Angeles be gentle with me
Los Angeles be gentle with me
She was the saddest girl to hold a martini
She's laughing with tears in her eyes
Waiting on the big surprise
So LA be kind to her
She needs something more than what you've been giving
She's given up life
She's given up love
Open your arms for her
Los Angeles be gentle with me
Los Angeles be gentle with me
And I want to leave but there's no where else I'd rather be
So Los Angeles be gentle with me
Los Angeles be gentle with me
Los Angeles be gentle with me
And I've got to leave you
I want to leave you
I want to go now
So Los Angeles be gentle with me
