Came to California Nothing but those blue skies Why'd I leave my old life? Blame it on your grey eyes Oh, but love's deceiving You know I've tried Came to California (California) Ooh, but now I don't know why 'Cause every time you need me, I fall apart And every time you trust me, I break your heart Every time you kiss me, it's just okay And every time you're with me, I'm far away Yeah Riding up the coastline Swimming in the moonlight Nothing lasts forever Yeah, even on the west side Ooh, 'cause love's deceiving You know I've tried Came to California (California) Ooh, but now I don't know why 'Cause every time you need me, I fall apart And every time you trust me, I break your heart Every time you kiss me, it's just okay And every time you're with me, I'm far away 'Cause every time you need me, I fall apart And every time you trust me, I break your heart And every time you kiss me, it's just okay And every time you're with me, I'm far away 'Cause every time you need me, I fall apart And every time you trust me, I break your heart And every time you kiss me, it's just okay And every time you're with me, I'm far away (Ooh, California Ooh, California)
