She wants to live in and old Hollywood mansion Feel the ghosts of dead movies stars See the back of classic cars She tired of playing the role Of out of work actors Maybe her friends were right all allong Hollywood was wrong She said LA be kind to me I know it's to hard to accept me But there's so many of us here Who could use some of your emphaty Los Angeles be gentle with me Los Angeles be gentle with me She was the saddest girl To hold a Martini She's laughing with tears in her eyes Waiting on the big surprise So L.A. be kind to her She wants something more Then what you've been giving She's given up life She's given up love Open your arms for her Los Angeles be gentle with me Los Angeles be gentle with me And I want to leave But there's nowhere else I'd rather be So Los Angeles be gentle with me Los Angeles be gentle with me Los Angeles be gentle with me And I've got to leave you I want to leave you I want to go now So Los Angeles be gentle with me
