Lyrics
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
The singer has recently arrived in Los Angeles.
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Assessing the environment and circumstances.
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Observing young women in Hollywood residences.
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Pondering whether the woman is fortunate in this vibrant city.
Or just another lost angel, city of night
Questioning if she's just one of many lost souls in the city's nightlife.
City of night, city of night, city of night, woo, come on
Repetition emphasizes the city's nature, inviting involvement.
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
Addressing the essence of an L.A. woman.
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
Reiteration of encountering an L.A. woman on a Sunday afternoon.
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
-L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
-Drive through your suburbs
Driving through the suburbs, entering a melancholic state.
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Engulfed in emotional distress.
Into your blue-blue blues
-Into your blues, oh, yeah
-I see your hair is burnin'
Observing a woman with fiery passion or intensity.
Hills are filled with fire
Describing a landscape ablaze with emotions.
If they say I never loved you
Disputing false claims about not having loved.
You know they are a liar
Asserting the deceitfulness of such statements.
Drivin' down your freeways
Driving through the city's nighttime scenes, noting loneliness.
Midnight alleys roam
-Cops in cars, the topless bars
-Never saw a woman
-So alone, so alone
-So alone, so alone
Emphasizing the profound sense of isolation.
Motel money murder madness
Introducing darker themes: money, violence, and emotional turmoil.
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
-Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
Repeated mantra "Mr. Mojo Risin'" signifies empowerment, strength, or a transformative state.
Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
-Got to keep on risin'
-Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
-Mojo risin', gotta mojo risin'
-Mister mojo risin', gotta keep on risin'
-Risin', risin'
-Gone risin', risin'
-I'm gone risin', risin'
-I gotta risin', risin'
-Well, risin', risin'
-I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'
-Woah, ohh yeah
Expressive exclamation affirming the previous statements.
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Repetition of the arrival and observation of Hollywood.
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
-Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
-Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Repeated questioning about a woman's fortune or fate in the city.
Or just another lost angel, city of night
-City of night, city of night, city of night, whoa, come on
Reiteration emphasizes the city's nature, inviting involvement.
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
Affirmation and reiteration of the singer's connection to an L.A. woman.
L.A. woman, you're my woman
-Little L.A. woman, little L.A. woman
-L.A. L.A. woman woman
-L.A. woman, come on
