each friday night

i've gotta moan

cause it's not right

to be alone

and i'm alone



and so i sleep

wake up at dawn

and leave before

the moon is gone

i know it's wrong

wr-o-o-ong



i've got to find some way out of here

jump on a plane and i disappear

maybe east of ohio

maybe that's where i ought to go



cause living here i've got so down

i guess that's why i've got to leave town

to find some place i haven't found

cause i know that you'll be there waiting



back, back, honey

take me back, baby

i want to stay in l.a.

back, back, baby

take me back, sugar

i want to stay



when i get home

the house is dark

the only sound

is joey's bark



been looking for another place a while

seen every town up in northern cal.

searching further every country mile

i saw new york and i like it's style



but still i've gotta say i love l.a.

i guess that's why i feel i've gotta stay

the hot streets and the summer nights

so lonely
