[Verse 1]
She can't do this anymore
She bought a ticket west and left me staring down the storm
Now I'm sittin' here all alone
In an empty house that used to be a happy home
She said she needed sunshine
She had enough of clouds
I knew it wouldn't take too long for her to figure out

[Chorus]
It don't rain in California
You won't see a single storm cloud in the sky
It's always clear, so there won't be any tears
Leave you standin' in the downpour trying to hide
It don't rain in California like it's raining here tonight

[Verse 2]
I can't do this anymore
I hopped a plane and I found my way to the California shore
Now we're sittin' here all alone
You knew that I was comin', you sounded happy on the phone
I knew you needed sunshine
It seems I brought the clouds
The thunder and the lightning seem to follow me around

[Chorus]
It don't rain in California
You won't see a single storm cloud in the sky
It's always clear, so there won't be any tears
That you're standin' in the downpour trying to hide
'Cause it don't rain in California like it's raining here tonight
It don't rain in California like it's raining here tonight
