I got blinded by the lights of the cars in the city
I could easily shut my eyes
I could easily find my sleep
Within these drives around the block
Nothing to tell, nothing to hide
You were blinded by the lights
I got lost in the city
Oooooooooooooooh
We'll never go back to California
Oooooooooooooooh
We'll never go back to California
I've been trying to find a smell
It's not a country that I miss
I wanted to grab your hand
It was holding on to something
The woman stared into my eyes
I knew there was nothing she could find
I swore that I would be nice
If you promise we'll be fine
Oooooooooooooooh
We'll never go back to California
Oooooooooooooooh
We'll never go back to California
Oooooooooooooooh
We'll never go back to California
Oooooooooooooooh
We'll never go back to California
I'm a liar and a cheat
I know time is on my side
I've got plenty of years to waste
I've got plenty of love to give
What do I care to spare another lifetime by the sea
If you're standing there with me then it's where I want to be
