De toute façon, la ville n'est plus pareille
The city is no longer the same anyway.
Il fait si chaud qu'on ne voit plus vraiment bien le ciel
It's so hot that we can't really see the sky very well anymore.
De toute façon, j'ai pas sommeil
Anyway, I'm not sleepy
Mais qu'est-ce qui t'a pris comme ça tout d'un coup
But what came over you like this all of a sudden?
De vouloir autre chose que nous
To want something other than us
Mais qu'est-ce qui t'a pris de vouloir t'en aller
But what possessed you to want to leave?
Je ne vais quand même pas me mettre à pleurer
I'm not even going to start crying
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
C'est ici que je t'aime
This is where I love you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
C'est ici que je t'attends
This is where I wait for you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
Je t'attends, je t'aime
I'm waiting for you, I love you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
Depuis que t'es parti je n'écoute plus les nouvelles
Since you left I no longer listen to the news
La ville est devenue cruelle
The city has become cruel
Il fait si chaud comme si on m'avait coupé les ailes
It's so hot like my wings have been clipped
Je tourne en rond, j'ai pas sommeil
I'm going around in circles, I'm not sleepy
Mais qu'est-ce qui m'a pris comme ça, je suis fou
But what came over me like this, I'm crazy
De ne pas m'être mis à genoux
For not getting on my knees
Mais qu'est-ce qui m'a pris de ne pas m'excuser
But why didn't I apologize?
J'ai tant de choses à me faire pardonner
I have so much to make up for
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
C'est ici que je t'aime
This is where I love you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
C'est ici que je t'attends
This is where I wait for you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
Je t'attends, je t'aime
I'm waiting for you, I love you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
C'est ici que je t'aime
This is where I love you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
C'est ici que je t'attends
This is where I wait for you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
Je t'attends, je t'aime
I'm waiting for you, I love you
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA, I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA
I want you back in LA
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
