I crossed out your name that I tatted on me
You threw me in the trash like bad origami
Hit me like a wave, I call you tsunami
Now I'm drowning in the space, Mr. Melancholy (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And now every time I drive the PCH I wanna cry
And I know I sound dramatic but it makes me wanna die
How could you go ruin a whole city in a day?
I hate L.A. (hey), I hate L.A.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, I hate L.A.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, I hate L.A

Guess I'm not your speed, no, I'm no Ferrari
Broke my heart just like a board, who taught you karate?
It's sunny every day, why can't I get happy?
Ain't nobody here for the pity party (no, no, no)
And now every time I drive the PCH I wanna cry
And I know I sound dramatic but it makes me wanna die
How could you go ruin a whole city like a plague?
I hate L.A. (hey), I hate L.A.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, I hate L.A.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, I hate L.A.

I mean, L.A.'s the shit
But this a love-hate relationship
Love the weather and weed, but I hate this chick
Wouldn't go as far as "makes me sick"
But very far from favorite
I hate it when I see you
Out on Melrose in shell toes, Mulholland in high heels
Yeah, I know this weather is ideal
But the city don't care 'bout how I feel
Take a drive to clear my mind when I'm upset
But to my surprise I don't see you on Sunset
Don't know when it happened but I heard you moved away
Funny how a U-Haul turns lemons to lemonade
I was gonna leave but like a palm tree I got swayed

I love L.A. (woo), I love L.A.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, I love L.A.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, I love L.A.
I love L.A., yeah
I love L.A., yeah, I love L.A., yeah, I love L.A.
I used to hate it, now I love it, oh, yeah
