LA Who Am I to Love You - Lana Del Rey

Lyrics by：Lana Del Rey

Composed by：Lana Del Rey

I left my city for San Francisco

Took a free ride off a billionaire's jet

LA I'm from nowhere

Who am I to love you

LA I've got nothing

Who am I to love you

When I'm feeling this way

And I've got nothing to offer

LA not quite the city that never sleeps

Not quite the city that wakes

But the city that dreams for sure

If by dreams you mean in nightmares

LA I'm a dreamer but I'm from nowhere

Who am I to dream

LA I'm upset I have complaints

Listen to me

They say I came from money and I didn't

And I didn't even have love and it's unfair

LA I sold my life rights for a big check

And I'm upset

And now I can't sleep at night

And I don't know why

Plus I love Zach

So why did I do that

When I know it won't last

LA I picked San Francisco because

The man who doesn't love me lives there

LA I'm pathetic but so are you

Can I come home now

Daughter to no one table for one

Party of thousands of people

I don't know at Delilah

Where my ex-husband works

I'm sick of this

But can I come home now

Mother to no one

Private jet for one

Back home to the Tudor house

That borned a thousand murder plots

Hancock Park it's treated me very badly

I'm resentful

The witch on the corner

The neighbor nobody wanted

The reason for Garcetti's extra security

LA I know I'm bad

But I have nowhere else to go

Can I come home now

I never had a mother

Will you let me make the sun my own for now

And the ocean my son

I'm quite good at tending to things despite

My upbringing

Can I raise your mountains

I promise to keep them greener

Make them my daughters

Teach them about fire warn them about water

I'm lonely LA can I come home now

I left my city for San Francisco

And I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge

But it's not going as I planned

I took a free ride off a billionaire

And brought my typewriter

And promised myself that I would stay but

It's just not going the way that I thought

It's not that I feel different

And I don't mind that it's not hot

It's just that I belong to no one

Which means there's only one place for me

The city not quite awake

The city not quite asleep

The city that's still deciding

How good it can be

And also

I can't sleep without you

No one's ever really held me like you

Not quite tightly but certainly

I feel your body next to me

Smoking next to me

Vaping lightly next to me

And I love that you love

The neon lights like me

Orange in the distance

We both love that

And I love that we have that in common

Also neither one of us can go

Back to New York

For you are unmoving

As for me it won't be my city again

Until I'm dead

**** the New York post

LA who am I to need you

When I've needed so much

Asked for so much

And what I've been given

I'm not sure yet

I may never know that either until I'm dead

For now though what I do know

Is although I don't deserve you

Not you at your best and your splendor

With towering eucalyptus trees

That sway in my dominion

Not you at your worst

Totally on fire unlivable

Unbreathable I need you

You see I have no mother

And you do

A continental shelf

A larger piece of land from where you came

And I

I'm an orphan

A little seashell that rests

Upon your native shores

One of many for sure

But because of that I surely must love you

Closely to the most of anyone

For that reason let me love you

Don't mind my desperation

Let me hold you not just for vacation

But for real and for forever

Make it real life

Let me be a real wife to you

Girlfriend lover mother friend

I adore you

Don't be put off by my quick-wordedness

I'm generally quite quiet

Quite a meditator actually

I'll do very well down by Paramhansa

Yogananda's realization center I'm sure

I promise you'll barely even notice me

Unless you want to notice me

Unless you prefer a rambunctious child

In which case I can turn it on too

I'm quite good on the stage as you may know

You might have heard of me

So either way I'll fit in just fine

So just love me by doing nothing

And perhaps by not shaking the county line

I'm yours if you'll have me

But regardless you're mine
