Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true
Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But, girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours!
Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self-respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed
I wanna go home
It never rains in California
But, girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours!
Will you tell the folks back home, I nearly made it?
Tell 'em I had offers, but didn't know which one to take
But please, don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, gimme a break
Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But, girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours!
