My Best Friend (Mi Mejor Amigo)
Music, guitar and vocals by Hope Levy.
Written by C.M. Conway and Hope Levy.
________________________________
Ooooooooooo.
It's getting late, I know you should go.
You're always willing to wait.
Anyone else would find it a bore.
You make me feel mucho mejor.
Time is your own, why spend it alone.
We're two of a kind.
I gotta admit, I like the sound of it.
Your company is like an elixir to my soul.
Oh, don't you, don't you know, oh.
You're mi mejor amigo.
Thanks for helping me take a chance.
Letting me lead when we dance.
Nothing ever seems to weigh you down.
You're so much fun to be around.
You're always there looking out for me.
Lifting me up and making me see.
You're my angel in Los Angeles.
You even show me a better way to dress.
Oh, don't you, don't you know, oh.
You're mi mejor amigo.
Oh, don't you, don't you, don't you know, oh.
You're mi mejor amigo.
Sometimes I think you really were heaven sent.
Always by my side when I need to vent.
You're like a brother and sister, all rolled up in one.
My luck has changed, look at what you've done.
I wish I could be the guy for you.
Admit it, you wish that too.
No one could ever take your place.
You're a real man in the human race.
Because you showed me what I needed to see.
Brought out the woman hiding in me.
Strong and wise, no compromise.
And now I finally, I finally am free.
Oooo, I'm finally free, yeah.
Free to be.
I finally am free.
Follow me, I'll take the lead, oh.
Finally, finally see, si.
I finally, finally see, oh.
Finally, finally see, oh.
Mi mejor amigo.

What Can I Do To Make You Happy
Lyrics, Music, Vocals – Hope Levy
Guitar, Bass & Percussion -Greg Bowden
______________________________________________
Tell me what to do I'll do it for you.
I am not afraid getting close to you.
What can I do to make you happy.
What can I do to make you happy.
Standing right here.
Don’t push me away.
Is it really hard believing, I got your back.
You picked the ones before me.
Gave up on you way too fast.
It takes longer I can see to figure you out.
What if I never do, I promise you I’m not gonna leave.
Tell me what’s on your mind, I wanna hear it I do.
Growing up no one ever took an interest in you.
I wanna be there to help you through it.
I wanna be there to listen to it.
If that’s what you want.
Am I what you want.
I can change your temper I'm not easily scared off.
Staying by your side when the going gets tough.
I’ve seen the dark and I’ve seen your light.
Let’s take that step
Give me your heart, I’ve given you mine.
Given you mine.
Look into my eyes, you’ll see my heart.
I felt love for you right from the start.
'Cause your smile makes me happy.
Your boyish laugh makes me happy.
Don’t push me away.
I’m here to stay.
'Cause you are the one who makes me happy.
You say I’m the one who makes you happy.
Let me be the one (ooh the one).
I am the one (ooh the one).
I am the one (ooh the one).
I am the one.

Do You Blame Me
Lyrics, music and vocals by Hope Levy
______________________________
I just wanna have some fun.
I don’t need to own someone.
Do you blame me.
I don’t care if you love someone.
I don’t want to lead you on.
Do you blame me.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, wahoo.
Let’s not think of what to do.
I just want to be with you.
Do you blame me.
I’m not looking for anything.
Just enjoy what’s happening.
Do you blame me.
I’ve gone down this road before.
I showed you mine now you show me yours.
I’m not the kind to read between the lines.
And when our summer’s through.
I’ll be leaving too.
Will you blame me.
You’ll go back to where you were.
You’ll be much more happier.
Will you blame me.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, wahoo.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh wahoo.
I’ve gone down that road before.
I showed you mine you showed me yours.
This ain’t my first rodeo…
'Cause now our summer’s through.
You know what to do.
Will you blame me.
Time for us to go back home.
That is where we both belong.
Will you blame me.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh wahoo
Do you blame me.
Do you blame me.
Do you blame me.
Do you blame me.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo doo doo.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, wahoo.

Inside Looking Out
Lyrics, music and vocals by Hope Levy
Keyboard, percussion, bass, and guitar by Greg Bowden.
________________________________
Takes a miracle to find.
The words come together in their time.
I didn’t know who it was for.
Took a chance went on down that rabbit hole.
I didn’t know where it would end.
I knew I’d come out strong.
I'm on the inside looking out (whoa).
I'm on the inside looking out (whoa).
Thank god you called me you when you did.
Could you hear me past your super id.
Seemed to finally work it out in your mind, knew all the things to say. Silence not my usual way.
Tried to make you hear it all.
Cause I'm on the inside looking out (whoa).
I'm on the inside looking out (whoa).
I'm on the inside looking out.
I'm on the inside looking out.
I'm on the inside looking out.
Ooh, ooh, ohh…..
Waking up a long, long way to go.
Line em up get your ducks all in a row.
This is how the real work is done.
Keep your heart wide open feed the soul.
Fill it in with a greater source control.
It was here to be won.
'Cause I'm on the inside looking out (tell me what it’s all about).
I'm on the inside looking out (whoa, tell me what it’s all about).
I'm on the inside looking out.
I'm on the inside looking out.
I'm on the inside looking out.
Ooo……
Takes a miracle to find.
The words come together in their time.
I didn’t know who it was for.
Took a chance and went on down that rabbit hole.
I didn’t know where it would end.
I knew I’d come out strong.
I'm on the inside looking out (whoa).
I'm on the inside looking out (whoa, tell me what it’s all about).
I'm on the inside…(tell me what it’s all about).
I'm on the inside looking out, looking out (tell me what it’s all about).
I'm on the inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside.
Inside, inside, inside, inside…. (tell me what it’s all about).
I'm on the inside looking out.

No Loyalty in L.A.
Lyrics, music and vocals by Hope Levy.
Guitar by John Tompkins.
Bass and guitar by Harrison Long.
_____________________________
I’m gorgeous inside that ain’t no lie.
Pull up the carpet where wood floors hide.
Smoker’s stains painted over in vain.
Musty smell from a kitchen flood still remains.
And there’s no loyalty in L.A.
No loyalty at all.
There’s no loyalty in L.A.
No none at all.
Nice bungalow, magnolia tree (all to enjoy).
A quiet street in Hollywood.
Not far from the Garden of Eden (where they paved up Paradise).
Why would they change me without thinking twice?
But there’s no loyalty in L.A. (in L.A.).
No loyalty at all.
There’s no loyalty in L.A. (in L.A.).
No loyalty at all.
Made me a townhouse with five stories blocking the sky.
Even the earthquakes I did survive.
But now when you go to walk by me.
You won’t recognize me.
Don’t touch that spruce planted in ‘83.
For a little girl who wanted a live X-mas tree.
I remember when they put in the brass porch light.
Don’t dig up the jasmine it smells beautiful at night.
Cause there’s no loyalty in L.A. (in L.A., no…).
No loyalty at all.
There’s no loyalty in L.A. (in L.A.).
No loyalty at all.
There’s no loyalty in L.A. (L.A., no…)
There’s no loyalty, no loyalty.
None at all.
Why is it always the ugliest buildings stay up?
I was old world they McMansioned me up.
They promised to love and preserve me (ooh….).
But now they just Airbnb me (ooh…).
There’s no loyalty in L.A.
There’s no loyalty in L.A.
Is there loyalty anywhere?
Is there loyalty anywhere today…
