California Lyrics

[Verse 1]
High heels, no clouds
Sun kissed in cloud
Can't stop, slow down
I want you, I want you
No call, no rain
One kiss, no pain
Tell me again
I want you, I want you

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't wanna talk, then you wanna talk
Then you wanna tell me I'm not and to move along
Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done cause I need your love, I need your love

[Chorus]
California, Hallelujah
You and me are gonna live for today girl
I'm the luckiest man in the whole world
Stole my heart but California
All I know is I'm with you today girl
I'm the luckiest man in the whole world

[Verse 2]
Lies you don’t keep
Hurt and I'll bleed
But you're so sweet
And I want you, I want you
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't wanna talk, then you wanna talk
Then you wanna tell me I'm not and to move along
Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done cause I need your love, I need your love

You don't wanna talk, then you wanna talk
Then you wanna tell me I'm not and to move along
Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done cause I need your love, I need your love

[Chorus]
California, Hallelujah
You and me are gonna live for today girl
I'm the luckiest man in the whole world
Stole my heart but California
All I know is I'm with you today girl
I'm the luckiest man in the whole world

[Bridge]
C'mon, c'mon I see it in your eyes
C'mon, c'mon just love me for one night
C'mon, c'mon I see it in your eyes
C'mon, c'mon just love me for one night

[Chorus]
California, Hallelujah
You and me are gonna live for today girl
I'm the luckiest man in the whole world
Stole my heart but California
All I know is I'm with you today girl
I'm the luckiest man in the whole world
[Outro]
California, Hallelujah
(Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done cause I need your love, I need your love)
Stole my heart but California
(Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done cause I need your love, I need your love)
