The Weeknd

Lyrics

[Intro]
(My, ooh)
I wanna know 'bout my Los Angeles city
From the left side all the way to the right side
Put your hands up, come on
Keep them up, keep 'em up
Los Angeles
You ready?
One, two, one, two, three, let's go

[Verse 1]
I was born in a city
Where the winter nights don't ever sleep
So this life's always with me
The ice inside my veins will never bleed

[Refrain]
My, ooh, oh
My, ooh
I see you there, let's go

[Verse 2]
Uh, every time you try to fix me
I know you'll never find that missing piece
Whеn you cry and say you miss me
I lie and tell you that I'll nеver leave, but what I'm sayin'
[Pre-Chorus]
I sacrificed
Your love for more of the night
I try to put up a fight
Can't tie me down

[Chorus]
I don't wanna sacrifice
For your love, I try
I don't wanna sacrifice
Keep those hands up (But I love my time)
I see you
One, two, three, jump

[Refrain]
(My, ooh)
(My, ooh)

[Verse 3]
I hold you through the toughest parts
When you feel like it's the end
'Cause life is still worth livin'
Yeah, this life is still worth livin'
I can break you down and pick you up
And **** like we are friends
But don't be catchin' feelings
Don't be out here catchin' feelings 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
I sacrificed (Sacrificed)
Your love for more of the night (Of the night)
I try to put up a fight (Up a fight)
Can't tie me down

[Chorus]
I don't wanna sacrifice
For your love, I try
I don't wanna sacrifice
But I love my time (Hey)
I don't wanna sacrifice you, baby
But I know (For your love, I try)
That I'm in Los Angeles (I don't wanna sacrifice)
Ooh, woah (But I love my time)
So, I say, "Los Angeles"
I say, "Los Angeles"

[Outro]
(I don't wanna sacrifice)
(I don't wanna, I try)
(I don't wanna sacrifice)
(But I love my time)
(My, ooh)
Let's go, louder, louder, louder
(My, ooh)
(My, ooh)Embed
