When the sun pours down like honey From the sweet California sky Then the haze and the smog, they're both soon forgotten And it's the very same way with love now When you're hurtin' from an old affair Then the pain will disappear when a new love's gotten Don't ask me why I do it 'cause you'll only say I knew it And I'm played just like a fool everytime Oh, but if you know the answer then I won't even ask her 'Cause it's hard enough for me to go down one more time When it's 10 A.M. in Doraville it's only 7 A.M. in L.A. She said, "I didn't want to wake you up just to warn ya" So the taillights soon will flicker and the Georgia sun will rise But I will be in the dark in California Oh, I'm a two-time loser and I could sober up any boozer Or at the very least make him looser in his prime Oh, I never even called her, so why does everyone say I balled her? I don't think I have the energy to go down one more time Please don't say that it's magic 'cause it always ends up tragic The act of love so sweet so soon becomes a crime Oh, please don't make me taste it Though it seems such a shame to waste it I don't think I have the energy to go down one more time One more time One more time
