[Intro: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Yeah, what's up?
Is everybody feeling good tonight? Say yeah
Woo, come on, yeah
You know what I'm talking 'bout
(It never rains in Southern California)
[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
I haven't seen your face in a year
I can't wait 'til I get there
Just to kiss and squeeze and hug
And girl, you know the rest 'cause they tell me
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California (They tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]
Maybe I'll take the flight out tonight
And you can pick me up about eight
I don't know what airline, girl
But I know it won't be late 'cause they tell mе
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California (Thеy tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
[Bridge: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Now I can't sleep at night
(Without your 8 x 10) By my side
That day will come
For us to be together
I'm not worried 'bout a thing (Not worried 'bout a thing)
Not even stormy weather
[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Now, it may be cold on the East Coast
But on the other side of town, it never rains
[Verse 3: Raphael Saadiq]
We have so much to talk about
A lot a catching up to do
I'll bring the diamond, girl
Because I'm so into you 'cause they tell me
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California (They tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
[Verse 4: Raphael Saadiq]
Now since I'll be here at your place
Let's take a weeks trip for two
We don't have to go too far
Just as long as I'm with you 'cause they tell me
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California (They tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
[Bridge: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Now, why can't we just be alone
(Without those other strangers)
Baby, baby, baby, calling your phone
Nowm I don't wanna be
That selfish kind of guy
But tonight let me take you (Tonight, we're gonna fly)
On a natural high
Just me and you alone
[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Now, it may be cold (May be) on the East Coast
But on the other side of town, it never rains (Hoo hoo, hoo hoo)
Now, it may be cold (May be) on the East Coast (May be)
But on the other side of town, it never rains
(Girl, I just wanna be with you, yeah)
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California
(It never rains there)
It never rains in Southern California
(Now, I wanna be with you for the rest of my life)
It never rains in Southern California
(Oh, oh yeah)
It never rains in Southern California
(Southern California)
It never rains in Southern California
(I wanna be right there with you)
It never rains in Southern California
(There's nothing else I'd rather do)
It never rains in Southern California
(That's what they tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
(I'll see you when I get there)
[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Now, it may be cold on the East Coast (East Coast)
But on the other side of town, it never rains
Now, it may be cold (May be) on the East Coast (The East Coast)
But on the other side of town, it never rains
(I just wanna be with you)
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California
(That's what they tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
(Girl, I wanna be with you for the rest of my life)
It never rains in Southern California
(Oh, oh yeah)
It never rains in Southern California
(Now, I want to)
It never rains in Southern California
(Hug you, squeeze you, I wanna see your pretty little smile)
It never rains in Southern California
(Ah, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh)
It never rains in Southern California
(Let's go take a walk on the beach)
It never rains in Southern California
(Oh, baby)
It never rains in Southern California
(It never rains)
It never rains in Southern California
(Southern California)
It never rains in Southern California
(They tell me, they tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
(I wanna be right where you are)
It never rains in Southern California
