So cool, she was like
Jazz on a summer’s day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can’t be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I’m the same boy I used to be
In the summertime, when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather’s fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
Summertime, and the livin’s easy
Bradley’s on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance will agree
That we’re well-qualified to represent the L.B.C
Me, me and Louie, we gonna run to the party
And dance to the rhythm, it gets harder
Sipping whiskey out the bottle
Not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” all summer long
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I’ll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
I remember the night she died
The angels sang and mama cried
And Dixie crossed to the other side
When Jesus called her home
California, preaching on the burning shore
California, I’ll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know I’m gonna shine
Destruction leads to a burial float
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are, to a girl’s guitar
They’re just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world from Californication
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don’t believe
We’re on the eve of destruction
Could you ever need me
And would you know how, yeah
Don’t waste our time
Tell me now
All you have to do
Is speak out my name, yeah
And I would come running
Anyway
And I said
Could it be me?
Could it really, really be?
Over and over
Could it really, really be?
Over and over
Run to me whenever you’re lonely
(To love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older
So darling, you run to me
Run to the light
Everything is alright
Run through the light of day
You run to the light of night
I went down to the place
Where I knew she lay waiting
Under the marble and the snow
I said, Mother I’m frightened
The thunder and the lightning
I’ll never come through this alone
She said, I’ll be with you
My shawl wrapped around you
My hand on your head when you go
And the night came on
It was very calm
I wanted the night to go on and on
Don’t let the day get the better of you
When the evening comes, there’s so much to do!
You’d better put on your best and wear a smile
Come along with me a while
'cause I tell you
I know a place
Where the music is fine and the lights are always low!
I know a place
Where we can go
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
Tired of weeping
Tired of moaning
Tired of groaning for you
I’m so glad
I’m so glad
I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad
It’s your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don’t keep-a me waiting
Please don’t keep-a me waiting
'Cause I’m so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I’m tired
Sick and tired of love
I’ve had my fill of love
From below and above
Tired, tired of being admired
Tired of love uninspired
Let’s face it, I’m tired
Don’t get too tired for love
Don’t let it end
Don’t say goodnight to love
It may never be the same again
I’m so tired, I haven’t slept a wink
I’m so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no
I’m so tired I don’t know what to do
I’m so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do
