Every night I see the stars keep shining bright
And I don't believe the light that's in the sky
All the day the stars just seem to fade away
Like they're waiting for the darkness of the night
Fancy cars and all the rock and roll stars
They just make their way down Sunset Boulevard
Palm trees keep on blowing in the breeze
As they decorate the front of every yard
Like a wheel we go round and round
The same old song never ends
Every day it's up or down
And we try to pretend
L.A. way, it's the L.A. way
The short skirts tend to crowd the avenues
As they're looking for a chance to make a deal
And down town all the beggars want it too
As they're looking for a place for their next meal
Like a wheel we go round and round
The same old song never ends
Every day it's up or down
As we try to pretend
Wherever you go, whatever you do
We all will be watching you
Whoever you are, wherever you go
We all need to know
Like a wheel we go round and round
The same old song never ends
Every day it's up or down
And we try to pretend
L.A. way, it's the L.A. way
L.A. way, it's the L.A. way
