[Verse 1]
I've got blinded by the lights of the guys in the city
I could easily shut my eyes
I could easily find my sleep
Within less jazz around the block
Nothing to doubt, nothing to hide
You were blinded by the lights
I've got lost in the city

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
We'll never go back to California
Ooh, ooh
We'll never go back to California

[Verse 2]
I've been trying to find a smell
It's not in the country that I miss
I wanted to grab your hand
It was holding on to something
The woman stared into my eyes
I know there was nothing she could find
I thought it would be nice if you promise we'll be fine

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
We'll never go back to California
Ooh, ooh
We'll never go back to California
Ooh, ooh
We'll never go back to California
Ooh, ooh
We'll never go back to California
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
I'm a liar in a cheat
I know time is on my side
I've got plenty of years to waste
I've got plenty of love to give
Why do I care to spare another lifetime by the sea?
If you're standing there with me then it's where I want to be
