It Never Rains In Southern California

Barry Manilow


Got on board a westbound 747 
Didn't think before deciding what to do 
Ooh, that talk of opportunities 
TV breaks and movies 
Rang true 
Sure rang true 

Seems it never rains in southern California 
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before 
It never rains in California 
But girl don't they warn ya 
It pours, man it pours 

Out of work, I'm out of my head 
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread 
I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home 
It never rains in California 
But girl don't they warn ya 
It pours, man it pours 

[Instrumental Interlude] 

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it 
Had offers but didn't know which one to take 
Please don't tell 'em how you found me 
Don't tell 'em how you found me 
Gimme a break, give me a break 

Seems it never rains in southern California 
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before 
It never rains in California 
But girl don't they warn ya 
It pours, man it pours
