lyrics

I wanna be your California king,
And wake up next to you in the morning when it’s freezing.
And if you have to turn the heat off
‘Cause you know the gas ain’t cheap,
Well, honey, I could give a damn,
If you just lie here next to me.

I wanna be your wildcard lover,
And stand beside your side when everybody else expects another.
And every panorama is just a new place to discover
‘Cause I’m here for you in the long haul,
After all.

Ch.
It’s a dream; it’s a wish.
It’s some crazy shit.
I must have just lucked out,
And don’t know how to deal with it.
I tried to be cool,
But I sank like a stone.
You’re rolling your eyes,
And I’m fumbling my lines.
But you shoot me that smile,
And I’m mesmerized.
So, honey, how do you feel,
About taking it home?

I wanna see your arms wide open.
You’re laughing, and you’re smiling,
And you’re messing up the timing when you’re joking.
You hardly said a word to me,
But I knew just what I wanted.
Kiss me again. I kinda liked it - let’s do that often.

Ch.

I wanna be your California king,
And, honey, well, you can be anything.
If you got time and you got patience
And you could see yourself hanging around me.
Well then I could give a damn about any of those other things.

Ch.
