She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough.

I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in,

And I don't know if I've ever been really loved,

By a hand that's touched me,

And I feel like something's gonna give,

And I'm a little bit angry.

Well, this ain't over, no, not here,

Not while I still need you around.

You don't owe me, we might change,

Yeah, we just might feel good.

(chorus)

I wanna push you around,

Well, I will,

Well, I will,

I wanna push you down,

Well, I will,

Well, I will,

I wanna take you for granted,

I wanna take you for granted,

Yeah, yeah, well, I will.

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me,

Like I'm a little untrusting,

When I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya,

And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me.

You couldn't stand to be near me,

When my face don't seem to want to shine,

'Cause it's a little bit dirty.

Well, don't just stand there, say nice things to me,

'Cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged,

And you, you don't know me,

Yeah, well, I can't change.

I won't do anything at all.

(chorus)

Oh, but don't bowl me over.

Just wait a minute, well, it kinda fell apart,

Things get so crazy, crazy.

Don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby, baby.

(chorus).

On a dark desert highway

Cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas

Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance

I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway

I heard the Mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

This could be heaven or this could be hell

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

(Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year

(Any time of year)

You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted

She got the Mercedes bends

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

That she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard

Sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember

Some dance to forget

So I called up the captain

Please, bring me my wine

He said

We haven't had that spirit here since

Nineteen sixty-nine

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel Califórnia

Such a lovely place

(Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

They're livin' it up at the Hotel Califórnia

What a nice surprise

(What a nice surprise)

Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling

The pink champagne on ice

And she said

We are all just prisoners here

Of our own device

And in the master's chambers

They gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives

But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember

I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

Relax, said the night man

We are programmed to receive

You can check out any time you like

But you can never leave!
