🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Hold on
That limousineIn which you just made the sceneSuits you to a TAll let you want to beIs somebody that don’t never want nothin’
That big châteauWhere you wanna goIn the south of FranceGoing to end our big romanceDon’t you do it
Honey, don’t leave L.A., don’t, don’t, don’tThat Riviera is so far awayI’m begging youm s’il vous plaîtThey don’t know nothing down in St. TropezSame old baby, mama don’t you leave L.A.
I heard it saidThat you had it madeWith your movie starOh how right you areIf that’s really ’bout the best you can do bitch, come on
You moved my soulSo I played the roleOf your back door manNow I can’t really complain‘Cause I love you
Mama, don’t leave L.A., don’t, don’t, don’tThat Riviera is so far awayI’m begging you, s’il vous plaîtThey don’t know nothing down in St. Tropez, très BeauvaisMama don’t ya leave L.A.
NoMama, don’t you drop out of sight on me, now, noThat Riviera’s so far awayBegging you s’il vous plaîtThey don’t know nothing down in St. TropezI said babeMama, don’t you leaveBaby, don’t you leave L.A., oh no
Brand new song, it’s called, “Bartender’s Blues”Or, or, “I need a honky tonk angel to hold me tightAnd keep me from drifting away”
