Darling, now I'm back in L.A.
And down in West Hollywood
I'm watching a punk band play
And I don't even know what I'm doing in this place
But I see you, sweet dreams all dressed up on young faces
And at the time I was staring at the full moon
I couldn't see the sea view from my room
And I cried down the phone when you said
I would follow you anywhere
Back to the time I was trembling at the microphone
Singing songs that I love
But something takes over when the lights go down
And you give me that same old feeling
Back to the time you and me were on the open road
Singing songs just because
Now I just can't wait till I get back home
Cause you give me that same old feeling
Bright eyes, so many here in California
Everybody loves the way I talk
They say I sound funny
The other side of Hollywood
A boulevard full of pain
Where you see lost souls that fade and leave no traces
And at the time I was driving out to Malibu
I couldn't see the smog left in the rear view
And I knew I'm wishing you could be there
I would follow you anywhere
Back to the time I was trembling at the microphone
Singing songs that I love
But something takes over when the lights go down
And you give me that same old feeling
Back to the time you and me were on the open road
Singing songs just because
Now I just can't wait till I get back home
Cause you give me that same old feeling
You give me, you give me, you give me that
You give me, you give me, you give me that
You give me, you give me that same old feeling
Oh-oh oh you give me that
You give me, you give me, you give me that
You give me, you give me, you give me that
You give me, you give me that same old feeling
Same old feeling
Back to the time I was traveling at the microphone
Singing songs that I love
But something takes over when the lights go down
And you give me that same old feeling
Back to the time you and me were on the open road
Singing songs just because
Now I just can't wait till I get back home
Cause you give me that same old feeling
Give me that same old feeling
