Don't you know baby i'm a leading man

I dig down deep when i say i love you

And i can hold my own with the best of them

I guarantee you, you will never see nothing like this again
[Chorus]

California, i hope that it wakes you

D D6
I'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you

I rubbed your back when you were sleeping
But all along baby it was understood
That you were leaving, absolutely
Since the very first day we met
