Paul Anka, the Canadian-American singer-songwriter best known for his hit songs “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” and “I Love You, Baby,” needs a buyer for his Los Angeles-area mansion.

The musician, who wrote the English lyrics to “My Way,” is asking $10 million for the place.

Anka purchased the primo property in Thousand Oaks, CA, in 2007 for $3,962,000 and is clearly looking for a hefty return on his investment.

Anka reportedly owns numerous homes in the area. Britney Spears, John Fogerty, and Wayne Gretzky are among a host of other celebs who call Thousand Oaks home.

The luxurious, French-inspired property has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a recording studio, all situated throughout 7,000 square feet.

Built in 2006, the residence sits on nearly 6 acres in Sherwood Country Club’s private, gated community.

At the home’s entry, there’s a large open foyer with a high ceiling and stone floors. Multiple sitting areas with bright casement windows are situated off of the main hallway. Look closely, and you can spot the musician’s memorabilia on the walls. One of the sitting areas boasts a wall of mirrors, and the other features a chic chandelier.
