I went to California
I met a lovely man
He rubs a wedding finger
Without a wedding band

Oh, he knows better anyhow
His kisses are just all in his eyes
Oh, I know better, I know better
Still I wish I was by your side

The taxi open window
The summer on the wind
I'd ask about a lover
But how would I begin?

Oh, he knows better anyhow
His kisses are just all in his eyes
Oh, I know better, I know better
Still I wish I was by your side

Oh, he knows better anyhow
His kisses are just all in his eyes
Oh, I know better, I know better
Still I wish I was
Still I wish I was
Still I wish I was by your side
By your side
By your side
