Where's California

Teena Marie · It Must Be Magic [1981]

After I left you

I found I can't be so far

And so long away

And here I am, huh

Getting ready to get on this train

And I don't have anybody to talk to

But myself

You can't even hear me

And my words cannot convey my feeling



Manchester, England looks a lot like me today

Ain't no sunshine in the feelin'

I thought about you as I got aboard the train

Ain't no truth in the believing



It's the natural thing to think of you

After all we've been through

Do you ever think of me at night

Wondering why I left your world undone



Where's California [Far from Liverpool]

So very far from you [Far from lovin' you]

Ooh, baby, did I warn ya [Baby, did I warn ya]

I'd take your love to Liverpool [Where's California]

Don't it make you wonder



I called your mama and I asked her what to bring

She said London fog would be the thing

I couldn't find the fog, the Beatles, or myself

This pain in my heart is above all I have felt



But it's the natural thing to think of you

After all we've been through

Do you ever think of me at night

Wondering why I left your world undone



Where's California [Far from Liverpool]

So very far from you [Far from lovin' you]

Ooh, baby, did I warn ya [Baby, did I warn ya]

I'd take your love to Liverpool [Where's California]

Don't it make you wonder



Don't it make you wonder why

Don't it make you wanna break down and cry

Don't it make you wonder why

Don't it make you wonder

Over and over and over again

Finding it hard to pretend



Where's California [Far from Liverpool]

So very far, so very far from you [Far from lovin' you]

Ooh, baby, did I warn ya [Baby, did I warn ya]

I'd take your love to Liverpool [Where's California]



And where's [Where's California ] California [Far from Liverpool]

So very, so very far, so very far from you

Ooh...ooh...woo...ooh...ooh... [Far from you]



Oh, where's [Where's California] are you [Far from Liverpool]

Far away
