Oh well her skin it was softer than velvet  And her eyes were as bright as a child's  Her lips were a promising picture  Warm and celluloid  But her words had me thinkin' too deeply  The meaning be-lying her face  Made me look just a little bit closer  Between the lines     L.A. smiles to hide the frown  L.A. promises to follow you down  L.A. teeth, and L.A. hair  L.A. curves that shouldn't be there  They really shouldn't be there     She said you've got to be seen at the Roxy  The strippers will know who we are  But you've got to be seen to be happy  You're a Tinseltown Star  You're going upwards and downwards and sideways  Man you're really caught up in a dream  With your head burning under the starlight  From the studio scene     L.A. smiles to hide the frown  L.A. promises to follow you down  L.A. teeth, and L.A. hair  L.A. curves that shouldn't be there  They really shouldn't be there     L.A. inflatable, she never says no  L.A. insatiable, you don't have to go  L.A. charisma     Well she knows all the famous musicians  Sometimes she sees how they play  And when the back stage passes are going  She really knows how to pay  She's a product of rock 'n' roll livin'  She's a victim of Hollywood hate  She's a soul survivor  She's the midnight special  Gonna lay you to waste     L.A. smiles to hide the frown  L.A. promises to follow you down  L.A. teeth, and L.A. hair  L.A. curves that shouldn't be there  They really shouldn't be there
