Leaving LA Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ask her the question, “How long do you have?”
And with no hesitation, she says, “One week and a half”

[Refrain]
Move town, there’s nothing left around here without her

[Verse 2]
I wonder, will she make it wherever she may go?
She listens as I say to her, “You don’t have to be alone”

[Refrain]
Move town, there’s nothing left around here without her
Move town, there’s nothing left around here without her

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Refrain]
Move town, there’s nothing left around here without her
Move town, there’s nothing left around here without her
Move town, there’s nothing left around here without her
Move town, there’s nothing left around here without her
Move town, there’s nothing left around here without her

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
