West L.A. Fadeaway

[Verse 1]
I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do [x2]
I don't want to buy it
I just want to rent it for a dollar or two
I met an old mistake walking down the street today [x2]
I didn't want to be mean about it
I didn't have one good thing to say

[Chorus]
West L.A. fadeaway, West L.A. fadeaway
Little red light on the highway, big green light on the speedway

[Verse 2]
I had a steady job holding items for the mob [x2]
Know the pay's pathetic
It's a shame those boys couldn't be more copacetic

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know [x2]
Lord, just how far to go
West L.A. fadeaway, here's one chance you say
She tries to live by the Golden Rule
Said you treat other people right
Other people probably treat you cool
