In L.A. - Lyrics - Eddy Grant

Edmond Montague "Eddy" Grant is a Guyanese British musician. The Allmusic journalist Jo-Ann Greene noted: "Eddy Grant stands among an elite group of artists as one who has not just merely moved successfully across the musical spectrum, but has actually been at the forefront of genres and even created one of his own. From pop star to reggae radical, musical entrepreneur to the inventor of ringbang, the artist has cut a swath through the world of music and made it his own."

I was the hero at the movies tonight I watched 1,000 Red Indians fight I watched them let their arrows go Into some fresh Red Indian snow I begged a girl who was-a living in sin To come and let my feelings go She wanted souvenirs to sell 1,000 Indians 'round her bell Girl, I wanted you in L.A. Couldn't you want me to in L.A. Always things to do in L.A. No one loves like you in L.A. And you know that Dog tired of parties and the female sex What is a man supposed to do I skipped across the lady's trends I never really had no friends Sometimes I'd listen to KJLH And wonder if the DJs play Music to mend a broken soul Maybe not even rock 'n' roll Girl, I wanted you in L.A. Couldn't you want me to in L.A. Always things to do in L.A. No one loves like you in L.A. And you know that Whoo! Do, do, do, do-do, do-do-do-do Do, do, do, do-do, do-do-do-do Do, do, do, do-do, do-do-do-do Do, do, do, do-do, do-do-do-do Girl, I wanted you in L.A. Couldn't you want me to in L.A. Always things to do in L.A. No one loves like you in L.A. And you know that I was Kneivel in a human way But looking for the things to do The heat was on, I had to store In L.A. I should do for sure I know somebody who's a real good trick But in the light of what I know Only your boy makes me slow I had to watch her come and go Girl, I wanted you in L.A. Couldn't you want me to in L.A. Always things to do in L.A. No one loves like you in L.A. Girl, I wanted you in L.A. Couldn't you want me to in L.A. Always things to do in L.A. No one loves like you in L.A. (No on loves me like you do, baby) Girl, I wanted you in L.A. Couldn't you want me to in L.A. Always things to do in L.A. No one loves like you in L.A.
