I went to California I met a lovely man He rubs a wedding finger Without a wedding band O he knows better anyhow His kisses are just all in his eyes O 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? O he knows better anyhow His kisses are just old in his eyes O I know better I know better Still I wish I was by your side O he knows better anyhow His kisses are just old in his eyes O I know better I know better Still I wish I was by your side
