California Girl
Prettyman Tristan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show you how easy it can be
California girl of your dreams
Sitting by the sea shore
Soaking up the summer breeze
[Chorus]
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
I can't believe I even came
Don't even know your name
Boy you know that ain't my scene
But you gotta play by the rules
If you ever gonna win the game
[Chorus]
I wish my words were true
True to the moment and true to you
But fear will help you make your move
Sweet kisses in the summer taste soft like honeydew
[Chorus: Repeats Til Fade]
