Everyone tells me
I was dealt a losing hand
The way that i look
And the way that i act
Itand's not hard to understand
Sure i got troubles
Maybe you got and'em too
Iand'd like to explain what has happened to me
So it doesnand't happen to you
I was born in los angeles
Many many many years ago
We lived out in north hollywood then
In a steamy little bungalow
My mother my father
My baby brother and me
Playinand' cowboys all day
Out there in the valley
What a perfect family
Hey, hey
Get and'em up, get and'em up
Come a ti yi
Hey
Went off to high school
When i was 13
I was kind of advanced
If you know what i mean
Got into some trouble
Drinkinand' heavy with my friends in the hills
My daddy had to come down the station to get me
He said, andquot;where is my angry young man?andquot;
Take me back
Baby, please take me back
I donand't wanna live here by this dirty old airport
In this greasy little shack
Take me back
Baby, please take me back
Just give me a chance and weand'll start all over again
Now that young girl
Was just a summertime thing
She went back to school
When the school bell ring
Now i do my laundry by myself
Every night i eat alone
Baby please, please, please
Wonand't you let me come back home?
Goinand' off to college
Passed every test
They said, andquot;letand's send this boy to palo alto.
He could be one of the best.andquot;
Four years at stanford
Worked very hard
A lot of good it did me, you little tramp
Youand're ruining my life
Take me back
Please, please take me back
I donand't wanna live here by this dirty old airport
In this greasy little shack
Take me back
Baby, please take me back
Just give me a chance
And weand'll start all over again
Just give me a chance
And weand'll start all over
