She's working on it over time And soon she'll finish me. And the world's saddest man will live here in Los Angeles. Of all the things she's ever done, She's making this her best, I got the fastest growing heartache in the west.
Till we came here no man had ever Touched her heart but me, She'd never tasted any lips but mine. But I know now, man have seen What only I should see Since her lips has tasted California wine.
She's working on it over time And soon she'll finish me. And the world's saddest man will live here in Los Angeles. Of all the things she's ever done, She's making this her best, I got the fastest growing heartache in the west.
