California Girl

(album: Dreams, Dreams, Dreams - 1977)

California
California
Well, I know you now
Understand you now
And I love you more each day

California girl
California girl
You're the best thing that I've seen in awhile
California girl
California girl
There must be something magic in your smile

Now when I came to this California town
I came here to make the big time
And I tried so hard but got no reward
And it seemed like I was wasting my time

I was kicking around this lonesome town
Trying to pick myself up instead of going down
But something sure changed when I met you
California now is looking bright and blue

California girl
California girl
Well, it seemed like I was wasting my time
But now I know you girl
And I love you girl
And it seems like California's all mine

I've been knocking on doors trying to sell my songs
I've been getting refused everywhere I've gone
But something sure changed when I met you
California now is looking bright and blue

California girl
California girl
Well, I don't know how to say what's on my mind
And now I know you girl
And I love you girl
And it feels like California's all mine

California
California girl
California
California girl
