California
It's a state of mind
It's a state of grace
Close your eyes
Drift away
The nights are warm
And the days are long
Come, pretty baby
Where you belong
The taste of her skin
Makes you feel alive
Drive down to heaven on the 105
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Everybody needs a little
California
I can be your California
I can be your getaway
I love you but I have to warn you
You can visit but you cannot stay
Well, I could be your California, baby
And we could be a flawed paradise
Nothing perfect lasts forever
But baby, wouldn't that be nice? (Nice)
A kiss from the sun, let it burn your skin
I'll meet you tonight but don't ask where I've been
The liquor store on 7th, they don't check IDs
Yeah, a pretty girl can always get whatever she needs
I can be your California
I can be your getaway
I love you, but I have to warn you
You can visit but you cannot stay
Well, I could be your California, baby
And we could be a flawed paradise
Nothing perfect lasts forever
But baby, wouldn't that be nice? (Nice)
California-fornia love
California-fornia love
Love
I can be your, I can be your-
I can be your California
I can be your getaway
I love you, but I have to warn you
You can visit but you cannot stay
It's a state of grace
Close your eyes
Drift away
The nights are warm
And the days are long
Come, pretty baby
Where you belong
The taste of her skin
Makes you feel alive
Drive down to heaven on the 105
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Everybody needs a little
California
I can be your California
I can be your getaway
I love you but I have to warn you
You can visit but you cannot stay
Well, I could be your California, baby
And we could be a flawed paradise
Nothing perfect lasts forever
But baby, wouldn't that be nice? (Nice)
A kiss from the sun, let it burn your skin
I'll meet you tonight but don't ask where I've been
The liquor store on 7th, they don't check IDs
Yeah, a pretty girl can always get whatever she needs
I can be your California
I can be your getaway
I love you, but I have to warn you
You can visit but you cannot stay
Well, I could be your California, baby
And we could be a flawed paradise
Nothing perfect lasts forever
But baby, wouldn't that be nice? (Nice)
California-fornia love
California-fornia love
Love
I can be your, I can be your-
I can be your California
I can be your getaway
I love you, but I have to warn you
You can visit but you cannot stay
