[Verse 1] Got on board a westbound 747 Didn't think before deciding what to do Ooh, that talk of opportunities TV breaks and movies Rang true, sure rang true [Pre-Chorus] Seems it never rains in southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before [Chorus] It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours [Verse 2] Out of work, I'm out of my head I'm out of self respect, I'm out of bread I'm under-loved, I'm underfed I wanna go home [Chorus] It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours [Verse 3] Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it? Had offers but don't know which one to take Please don't tell 'em how you found me Don't tell 'em how you found me Gimme a break, give me a break [Pre-Chorus] Seems it never rains in southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before [Chorus] It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours
