Lyrics
Hollywood's the neighborhood that's built upon a dream
It's no big revelation that things aren't what they seem
I need a little time and space to try and clear my head
You can keep that world of make-believe, I'll take New York instead
Red Eye, take me out of LA
If I can't have her, don't wanna stay
Back to Manhattan, back on my feet
I'm a loser in love, I'll admit my defeat
Brought up in New York, brought down in LA
It's a nice place to visit, but I couldn't stay
Brought up in New York, I was brought down in LA
If they ask me, that's all I've got to say
Thought she loved me, guess I was wrong
Another place where I didn't belong
Back to the city and places I've known
Where I'm by myself, but I'm never alone
Brought up in New York, brought down in LA
It's a nice place to visit, but I couldn't stay
Brought up in New York, I was brought down in LA
If they ask me, that's all I've got to say
The East Coast gets a head start on the sunrise every day
It's second gear in New York before coffee in LA
I'll miss the sweet scent of the jasmine and the ocean breeze at night
I'll take New York hands down for my new lease on life
Brought up in New York, I was brought down in LA
It's a nice place to visit, but I couldn't stay
Brought up in New York, I was brought down in LA
If they ask me, that's all I've got to say
