[Verse 1]
Someone said she came here from L.A
I know she rides the one-way fare
Looks like she's had more than her share
But I don't believe the L.A. lady really cares

[Chorus]
If she lives and dies
I don't wonder why
I can see the sadness in her eyes
Oh, the love she's had
Well, it's all gone bad
But you know the L.A. lady is not one to cry

[Violin Solo]

[Verse 2]
Oh, if you want to understand the story
Ooh-ooh, you've got to read between the lines
To see how love can bring you down, Lord, it's so unfair
That's why the L.A. lady she don't care

[Chorus]
If she lives or dies
I don't wonder why
I can see the sadness in her eyes
Oh, the love she's had
Well, it's all gone bad
But you know the L.A. lady is not one to cry
[Outro]
Yeah, and you know the L.A. lady is not one to cry
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh
