California Girl - Eddie Floyd

As I stand here these evening

Looking out over the metropolis of Los Angeles, California

I can’t help but think about the young lady that I met here

So I wrote a song tonight and I call it my California girl

California girl, you’re living in a different world

Let the sun shine in, right here where my love begins

No, I won’t ever hurt you, no, I won’t make you cry, no

California girl, I’m gonna love, love you till the day I die, yeah

Everybody help me sing this song one more time, yeah

California girl, you’re living by the sand and sea

And it means every little thing now, now that you belong to me

Oh, I’m gonna make you happy, oh, I’m gonna see you smile, yeah

My California, California, California

I’m gonna love you baby, till the day I die, yeah

California girl, oh, you live in a different world, yes you are

And it means every little thing darling, now that you are my girl, yeah

No, I won’t never hurt you, baby, I won’t see you cry, no

My California, California, California

I’m gonna love you baby, till the day I die, yeah

Everybody help me sing these song one more time

California girl, California girl

Oh, I’m gonna love you baby, yes I am

Till the day, the day, the day, the day I die, yeah

You see I’m not ashamed tonight

To say these words to the young lady

That I met at the metropolis of Los Angeles, California, huh

And as I look out over the sky tonight

Through the fog and through the smog

I can’t help but think about that young girl, oh, oh, oh baby

Everybody, help me, help me sing one more time, yeah
