"Just Can't Walk Away"
written by
Karla Bonoff, Andrew Gold, Kenny Edwards & Wendy Waldman

"This song is about the inherent, but somewhat addictive experience of living in Los Angeles. There's something ironic about the city's suburban youth going surfing in the morning with brown smog hanging in the air and the metal towers of oil refineries in the backdrop-- this song is funny in a twisted way."
- Kenny Edwards

Another day is dawning On the brown and dirty street All the valley boys Push their boards into the sea And the planes come down Drowning out the voice inside your head As you stumble from your bed High above the city All the hills burst into flame We stop and stare a minute Then somehow life goes on the same And they all come here Each of them believing in a dream And it's just the same for me I never meant to love you - You're gonna make me cry someday There's something that's crazy about you I don't know why I have to stay I never meant to love you But I just can't walk away Another night is falling Filled with stars we'll never see Just a million headlights In the struggle to be free And we all go home Lay us down and pray our souls to keep But you know we're in too deep I never meant to love you... Scent of jasmine everywhere The sun slips through the trees There's something hanging in the air It brings you too your knees I never meant to love you...
