I've got to go
To California
In the sun
I like the poetry
On the beach
Where the water is rough and the wind blows
My lover is waiting for me there
Yeah, he's waiting
And he's aching just like I am
To be together again
I've got to go
To California
Where surfers and players all hang
And I read the news
Like I got to know
As I watch the people go by
With my head high
My lover is waiting for me there
Yeah, he's waiting
And he's aching just like I am
To be together again
And whenever I get down
I'll go back to the water
And listen to the waves
My lover is waiting for me there
Yeah, he's waiting
And he's aching just like I am
To be together again
I belong there
With flowers in my hair
As he kisses my neck
