Intro / Chorus:
The City of Angels,I was in for a treat,
Warm sun on my skin, wild parties on the beach.
She asked me intently, “Are you here for a rest?”
I said, “I skipped town from Brooklyn to escape from the ex!”
Verse 1:
Just touched down in L.A.X.,
Heard the weather was nice this time of year out west.
Hot air vibing in the heat off the runway,
I was ready for whatever came next that day.
I’m not here for the smoking, ain’t got no motive,
Just tryna catch some rays and maybe a dip in the ocean.
Chorus:
The City of Angels, I was in for a treat,
Warm sun on my skin, wild parties on the beach.
She asked me intently, “Are you here for a rest?”
I said, “I skipped town from Brooklyn to escape from the ex!”
Verse 2:
Arrived at the hotel, there she stood at the desk,
Soft aura glowing from that pretty floral dress.
Conversation was flowing, she laughed and said,
“Would you like to be my personal guest?”
Chorus:
The City of Angels, I was in for a treat,
Warm sun on my skin, wild parties on the beach.
She asked me intently, “Are you here for a rest?”
I said, “I skipped town from Brooklyn to escape from the ex!”
Verse 3:
City of Angels, she won’t find me here,
I’ll be lost somewhere between Santa Monica and Venice Beach Pier.
Tryna look for myself while the world’s searching for me,
Find me sipping cocktails down Rodeo Drive under palm trees.
Chorus:
The City of Angels, I was in for a treat,
Warm sun on my skin, wild parties on the beach.
She asked me intently, “Are you here for a rest?”
I said, “I skipped town from Brooklyn to escape from the ex!”
Verse 4:
Thought to myself, “From now on, I’m gonna seize the day,”
Fancied a cruise on the Angel Crest Highway.
She said to me, “You’re not from here, are ya?”
I smiled and replied, “Just trying to escape the drama.”
We drove through the canyon with the drop top down,
Sweet harmonies strum from that V8 sound.
Sky painted gold, sun fading to black,
Thought to myself, I might never go back!
Bridge:
Stars peeked out as the sun hung low,
L.A. night in the distance had that electric glow.
She turned to me, said, “Guess we both needed peace,”
And for the first time in a while, I could finally breathe!
Final Chorus ×2:
The City of Angels, I was in for a treat,
Warm sun on my skin, wild parties on the beach.
She asked me intently, “Are you here for a rest?”
Then smiled and said, “Well, come and be my guest.”
I said, “I skipped town from Brooklyn to escape from the ex!”
verse 1:
It was a Friday afternoon, must’ve been about quarter past two,
Drinking fine wine downtown on Eighth Street.
Sat outside that little bar by Amelie,
There she breezed right by where I was sitting
A whiff of her scent had me right straight trippin’.
In that moment I had the urge to see
Whether this was something meant to be.
Chorus x1 :
Ohhh, sun-kissed skin she was dressed to kill.
We had a few drinks, then I got the bill.
Magnetized attraction, that was the factor
All I could think was this was guaranteed satisfaction.
Sun-kissed skin, she was dressed to kill.
We had a few drinks, then I got the bill.
Magnetized attraction, that was the factor
All I could think was this was guaranteed satisfaction.
verse 2:
Golden light caressed us both in the hot summer sun.
She said, “I gotta go, I’ve got somewhere to run.”
I whispered in her ear, “Are you sure you wanna leave?
The day’s still young there’s so much we can achieve.”
She pulled me in close and took me by surprise,
I lost all control, locked deep in her eyes.
“Slow down, girl… no need to be so quick,
I wanna feel the electric pulsing through those fingertips.
Don’t rush take your time with that sacred kiss,
I wanna taste every bit of those rose-tinted lips.”
Chorus x1:
Ohhh, sun-kissed skin — she was dressed to kill.
We had a few drinks, then I got the bill.
Magnetized attraction, that was the factor
All I could think was this was guaranteed satisfaction.
Sun-kissed skin, she was dressed to kill.
We had a few drinks, then I got the bill.
Magnetized attraction, that was the factor
All I could think was this was guaranteed satisfaction.
Bridge:
After the kiss, I said, “That was something to behold.
Can I get your number, or at least an area code?”
She smiled right back and kissed me on the cheek,
And said, “Yeah, maybe we can do this again next week.”
Final Chorus:
Ohhh, sun-kissed skin she was dressed to kill.
We had a few drinks, then I got the bill.
Magnetized attraction, that was the factor
All I could think was this was guaranteed satisfaction.
Sun-kissed skin, she was dressed to kill.
We had a few drinks, then I got the bill.
Magnetized attraction, that was the factor
All I could think was this was guaranteed satisfaction. Woah
Guaranteed Satisfaction..
Guaranteed satisfaction ..
Woahh
Guaranteed Satisfaction
Verse 1
First time we met I was intrigued…
Had to get you on my feed…
You was somehow on my level…
Both had love for bass and treble…
We grew closer over time…
Close but never crossed the line…
Same life paths, same circumstance…
Blind fate… what was the chance…
Chorus (x2)
Could you be the one for me…
Baaabe… took me so long to see…
These feelings keep coming on strong…
Maybe… we been friends too long…
Verse 2
Late nights talking losing time…
We were both blind to the signs…
We’d write songs and drink to it…
Mornings not regretting one bit…
As the gigs went by things changed…
Maybe I was going insane…
Just tried to forget the past…
Some things never meant to last…
Chorus (x2)
Could you be the one for me…
Baaabe… took me so long to see…
These feelings keep coming on strong…
Maybe… we been friends too long…
Verse 3
Partners on the strings so well…
Red Hot Chilli covers under sacred spells…
You’d peer on over to me…
Strumming bass so damn effortlessly…
That little glint inside your eyes…
Something I could not ignore…
The addiction started growing more…
Chorus (x2)
Could you be the one for me…
Baaabe… took me so long to see…
These feelings keep coming on strong…
Maybe… we been friends too long…
Verse 4
Then it was so plain to see…
You just might be the one for me…
We hit the bedroom crashing…
Tension broke with heat and passion…
Bridge
The rest is kind of history…
Maybe we were meant to be…
This love works with such ease…
Balanced with our symphony…
Final Chorus (x2)
Could you be the one for me…
Baaabe… took me so long to see…
These feelings keep coming on strong…
Maybe… we been friends too long…

[Male Verse]
I still remember, the first time I saw you... An Angel so Beautiful, i thought maybe its all True?.. You gave me Feelings I'd never felt before... you had me coming back knocking on your door for more... Young and blinded, that short Time was Bliss.. a life time later I still miss your kiss.
[Male chorus x1]
Those were the days.. young and blinded by feelings.. a coward I was.. Girl I had my reasons.. everything moved so fast.. we really had a chance... But now the only chance is to reminisce on the past.
Reminisce on the past...
Reminisce on the past...
[Female Verse]
A whirlwind in the distance... Afraid of its own existence... Our innocence was blissful... Your eyes pierced me like crystals... Your smile felt like a blessing from above... What kind of idiot would throw away this love...
[Male Chorus x2],
Those were the days.. young and blinded by feelings.. a coward I was.. Girl I had my reasons... everything moved so fast.. we really had a chance... But now the only chance... is to reminisce on the past..

Reminisce on the past
Reminisce on the past
[Female Bridge]
The letters you wrote all went up in smoke, I regret, I was angry, but you messed it up badly, gladly I can admit it that it was both our fault, forever I'll remember that night on my porch. Woahhhhhhhhhhhhh
