I woke up still fucked up in L.A. (I woke up still fucked up in L.A.) Where the city never sleeps in (Where the city never sleeps)
Waking up feeling troubled in Los Angeles, emphasizing the city's non-stop nature
Last thing I remember, we were just ridin' round town, bout to get between the sheets
Recollection of the last memory, preparing for intimacy
And now I'm runnin' through the city lookin for you (Now I'm runnin' through the city looking for you)
Searching through the city for someone, indicating a disconnection
But you on to the next, that's what happens when you try fallin' in love in L.A.
Consequence of attempting to fall in love in Los Angeles, implying a transient nature
That's what happens when you try fallin' in love in L.A.
Repetition for emphasis on the consequences of falling in love in Los Angeles
She ain't gotta worry about the price tag she from Beverly Hills Shawty want a bad boy, she live for the thrill (She know I'm somethin' like that)
Description of a girl not concerned about material wealth, seeking excitement and thrill
Yeah, she know I'm somethin' like that
Reiteration of the idea that the singer has a certain allure
Yeah, she in love with the street lights
Indication that the girl is drawn to the city nightlife
Gettin' fucked up all night
Engagement in a night of revelry and intoxication
Shawty know that I'm the worst
Acknowledgment of the singer's negative traits
Shawty always sniffin' out her purse
Reference to the girl being cautious about money
This love will put me in a hearse
Suggestion that this love may lead to the singer's demise
But I woke up still fucked up in L.A. (I woke up still fucked it in L.A.) Where the city never sleeps in (Where the city never sleeps)
Reiteration of waking up in a troubled state in Los Angeles
Last thing I remember, we were just ridin' round town, bout to get between the sheets

And now I'm runnin' through the city lookin for you (Yeah, I'm runnin' through the city looking for you)
Continuation of the search for someone in the city (repeated from line 10)
But you on to the next (You on to the next)
Acknowledgment that the person has moved on
That's what happens when you try fallin' in love in L.A.
Reiteration of the consequences of attempting to fall in love in Los Angeles
That's what happens when you try fallin' in love in L.A.
Repetition for emphasis on the consequences (repeated from line 26)
