Hey my old friend, you've always been a lucky man.
You never settled for second best.
Now that you can afford your favourite car,
you rather go see girls under the California sun.

Now I'm a bit upset
cause it's the second time you go away.

Listen dear friend, you've always been a lucky man-
We have already said so long once,
now that you've found the sweetest girl,
are you gonna leave her behind?

Now I'm a bit upset
cause it's the second time you go away.
It's the second time ...
It's the second time ...
It's the second time ...
It's the second time ...

Do you really need a sadder song?
Do you really need a sadder song?

It's the second time ...
It's the second time ...
It's the second time ...
It's the second time ...
