L.A. Lyrics

As if it wasn't enough that I was always there for you
I will always wait
It's a sunny day, I built a house for you
I've gotten my own car
I've gotten my own style
I've gotten older, see?
I've gotten lovely friends
I have lovely friends
But nothing's free
So I wonder

I'm living in L.A.
Won't you call sometime?
Waking up and smiling times
You make me fall out of line
And into love

Every time I think about the way I used to laugh
Swimming in the sun
If there's only room for one, I'd give you half
Now I'm having my own fun, looking out for number one
I'm having parties, see?
I've gotten lonely friends
But they are only friends
Means nothing to me
So I wonder

I'm living in L.A.
Won't you call sometime?
Waking up and smiling times
You make me fall out of line
And into love

I'm calling, calling to say I don't care
I'm calling, calling to say that I wish you were here
If you were here, if you were here

I'm living in L.A.
Won't you call sometime?
Waking up and smiling times
You make me fall out of line
And into love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
