Barry Manilow - It Never Rains in Southern California

Got on board a westbound 747

Didn't think before deciding what to do

All 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!

Will you tell the folks back home, I nearly made it?

Tell 'em I had offers, but didn't know which one to take

But please, don't tell 'em how you found me

Don't tell 'em how you found me

Gimme a break, gimme 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!
