Well, I know it's all been said before
But that will not stop me from trying
To explain to you everything I said is true, yeah
You know I'm right in my own world

I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida
Then I found it in California
I guess that's how things go
Cause no one really knows what life's got for ya
You better hire a real good lawyer
And take things as they come in the California sun

Yeah, I consider myself one of the lucky ones
And every night I praise his name
I'm not ashamed to say
You have made me want to change
You know you light up my whole world

I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida
Then I found it in California
I guess that's how things go
Cause no one really knows what God's planned for ya
You better hire a real good lawyer
And take things as they come in the California sun

Oh, she makes me want to change
She makes me want to change
Yeah, she makes me want to change
She makes me want to change
She makes me want to change, yeah

I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida
Then I found it in California
I guess that's how things go
Cause no one really knows what life's got for ya
You better hire a real good lawyer
And take things as they come in the California sun
Yeah, the California sun
Cause no one really knows what God's planned for ya
You better hire a real good lawyer
And take things as they come in the California sun
