It Never Rains In Southern California

(Album: What Am I Crying For? - 1973)

Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true
Sure rang true

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that king of talk before
It never rains in California
But, girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self-respect, I'm out of bread
I'm under loved, I'm underfed
I wanna go hohh-oh-ome

It never rains in California
But, girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Will you tell the folks back home
I nearly made it?
Had offers but don't know
Which one to take

Please don't tell them
How you found me
Don't tell them how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But, girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

It never rains in
Southern California
Seems I've often heard
That kind of talk before...
