He drives up to her house

She tells her momma goodbye

She jumps into his car

Their kiss lit in the radio's light


And they're gonna fall in love tonight

Underneath the Orange County sky

They sleep on the beach

Until they see the morning come

Life was over before it begun


We still got our MTV

Jay-Z and Gwen Stefani

Tivo for my sweet sixteen

And prepaid AT&T

The things that we think we need

For our American dream

We're so perfectly Orange County


She has a baby coming

He quits school to get a job

She stays at home alone

Thinking where have the good times gone


And they're gonna fall in love tonight

Underneath the Orange County sky

They sleep on the beach

Until they see the morning come

Life was over before it begun


We still got our MTV

Jay-Z and Gwen Stefani

Tivo for my sweet sixteen

And prepaid AT&T

The things we think we need

Now that 2 become 3

We're so perfectly Orange County, Orange County


Where have all the good times gone?

And she says,

Where have all the good times gone?


And they're going to fall in love tonight

Underneath the Orange County sky

They sleep on the beach

Until they see the morning come

Life was over before it begun


We still got our MTV

Jay-Z and Gwen Stefani

Tivo for my sweet sixteen

And prepaid AT&T

Marc Jacobs and Gucci gear

We'll pay it off in a year

Credit cards to pay our debt

So why aren't we happy yet?

Old pictures of you and me

When we were young and were free

And memories so perfectly Orange County

Orange County, Orange County, Orange County
