Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light?
Or just another lost angel?
[Verse 2]
City of Night, City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, whoo, c'mon!
[Verse 3]
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blues, into your blues!
Oh yeah!
[Verse 4]
I see your hair is burning
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
[Verse 5]
Driving down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman so alone
So alone, so alone, so alone
Motel money murder-madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
[Verse 6]
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'
[Verse 7]
Risin', risin'
Gone risin', risin'
I'm gone risin', risin'
I gotta risin', risin'
Well, risin', risin'
I gotta, whoo, yeah, risin'
Whoa, oh yeah
[Verse 8]
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Lights?
Or just another lost angel?
[Verse 9]
City of Night, City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, whoa, c'mon
[Verse 10]
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman, you're my woman
Oh, little L.A. woman, little L.A. woman
L.A., L.A., woman, woman
L.A. woman, c'mon
