Note - the screen freezes a couple of times, although the audio keeps going. This one is edited down, getting rid of false starts and testing the mike, but the original unedited video file mysteriously disappeared off my hard drive (!). I hope it doesn't distract you too much when it happens...

It's a funny song but also sad, showing the frustration of trying to find true love, especially in a big city. Rather than just copy their version, I've changed the rhythm using a clave (think Bo-Diddly) and a reverse clave, alternating rhythms between verses, choruses, and the bridge. It took a bit of effort to get used to, I hope you like it!

Lyrics:
Since I don't know how you find love in LA
They don't make 'em like they do in the country
The city moves too fast to appreciate all the time it takes for sweet loving
[Chorus]
Listen for fate's whisper
It'll try and warn you
Telling your heart to be cautious of a lover trying to harm you
All the girls in LA look like they're fadin' away
A woman should be strong with thick legs and big arms
The stars in the sky, they put em on the street
With the bums and the tramps, that nobody needs
[Chorus]
Listen for fate's whisper
It'll try and warn you
Telling your heart to be cautious of a lover trying to harm you
[Bridge]
You know they say it ain't easy lovin' the same woman forever
Wish you luck on finding the good one on your heart's endeavor
Nothing is easy
Love isn't easy as it seems
You can test a woman for honesty
You can go and test her for goodness
But it's a wicked game and a crying shame
There's no way to give her a love test
[Chorus]
Listen for fate's whisper
It'll try and warn you
Telling your heart to be cautious of a lover trying to harm you
You know they say it ain't easy lovin' the same woman forever
Wish you luck on finding the good one on your heart's endeavor
Nothing is easy
Love isn't easy as it seems
