Maybe it rains too much where I'm from Maybe he thinks I'm not his kind of fun Maybe the stars won't align Or they don't wanna shine on me I don't wanna roll with the wind like the waves I'm only warm on a cold winter's day No matter how hard I try I'm nothing like he wants me to be He only wants those girls from California (He only wants those kind of girls) Beach blanket dolls that will carry his heart away (He only wants those kind of girls) Blue eyes, gold in their hair Sun on their skin like it's always been there He only wants those girls from California Of California If I could see myself playing the part I'd light him up like Hollywood Boulevard I'd put the salt in the sweet Put the streetlights to sleep for a while Maybe it's oceans that keep us apart Maybe he's just too afraid of the dark 'Cause when he walks around There is never a cloud in the sky Oh, no He only wants those girls from California (He only wants those kind of girls) Beach blanket dolls that will carry his heart away (He only wants those kind of girls) Blue eyes, gold in their hair Sun on their skin like it's always been there He only wants those girls from California Of California Oh, he only wants those girls from California
