It Never Rains
Tony Toni Toné Lyrics
I haven't seen your face in a year
I can't wait till I get there
Just to kiss and squeeze and hug
Girl you know the rest 'cause they tell me
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Maybe I'll take the flight out tonight
And you can pick me up about 8
But I know it won't be late 'cause they tell me
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Now I can't sleep at night
Without your 8 x 10 by my side
That day will come
For us to be together
I'm not worried 'bout a thing
Not even stormy weather
Oh it may be cold on the east coast
But on the other side of town it never rains
We have so much to talk about
A lot a catchin' up to do
I'll bring the diamond girl
Because I'm so into you
Cause they tell me
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Now since I'll be here at your place
Lets take a weeks trip for two
We don't have to go to far
Just as long as I'm with you
'cause they tell me
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Can we just be alone
Without those other strangers
Calling your phone
Now I don't want to be
That selfish kind of guy
But tonight let me take you
On a natural high
Just me and you alone
Now it may be cold on the east coast
But on the other side of town it never rains
Now it may be cold on the east coast
But on the other side of town it never rains
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Now it may be cold on the east coast
But on the other side of town it never rains
Now it may be cold on the east coast
But on the other side of town it never rains
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California

Other members were Elijah Baker, Carl Wheeler, Randall Wiggins, and Antron Haile.
History
Their first album was released in 1988 and was titled Who?. The album went gold and had several hit singles. The first of these, "Little Walter", went to #1 on the R&B charts. While none of the singles went gold, the next three singles, "Born Not To Know", "For The Love Of You" and "Baby Doll" were all Top 10 R&B singles.
Firmly establishing themselves, the group's second album The Revival was released in 1990 and reached platinum status. The album spawned several #1 R&B hits with "It Never Rains", "Feels Good", and "Whatever You Want", all topping the R&B charts. "Feels Good" was the group's first single to breach the Top 10 of the Hot 100 and managed to go gold.
Furthering the group's success, they released their best selling album to date, Sons Of Soul, in 1993. The album went double platinum and had hit singles: "If I Had No Loot" which hit #7 on the Hot 100, "Anniversary" which reached #10 on the Hot 100, and "(Lay Your Head On My) Pillow" which reached #4 on the R&B charts.
In 1996, the group released their last album to date, House of Music. The album lacked the strong singles of earlier entries, only getting "Thinking Of You" into the top 10 on the R&B charts but the album still managed to go platinum.
Raphael Saadiq released his first solo effort, the Top 20 Billboard hit "Ask of You" from the Higher Learning soundtrack, in 1995. Around the same time, Saadiq became a much-sought-after R&B producer, scoring hits for D'Angelo, Total, The Roots and others. Later in the 2000s, he started a solo career, releasing two albums, Instant Vintage (2002) and Ray Ray (2004).
In 2003, most members of Tony! Toni! Toné! except for Saadiq were invited by Alicia Keys to guest on her album The Diary of Alicia Keys. The song that resulted from that session was called "Diary", and when it was released as a single in the fall of 2004, it gave them their first Top 10 US hit in eleven years. In 2005, Dwayne Wiggins became the band leader for the Weekends at the D.L. television show hosted by comedian D. L. Hughley, which airs on the Comedy Central cable network.
In 2006, the group reunited for the New Jack Reunion Tour, running throughout the U.S.

@Luis Arias For real, as an east coaster, I always assumed this song was exaggerating for metaphorical effect, but nope, having lived in LA for the last four years, it’s pretty much true.
