Please Don’t (Come to California) Lyrics by Thick as Thieves

These Days

2013

[Intro]
I heard a shot in the dark
It's headin' straight for my heart
I still remember the day I met you
Before I knew your name
Before you spoke to me
There was something about your way
Ahahah ahahah
There was something about your face
Ahahah ahahah
[Pre-Chorus]
All you ever do is break hearts
One little thing
And you're not here for that
All you ever do is break hearts
One little thing
And you're not here for that
[Chorus 1]
Please don't come to California
I don't want to see your face
Since I met you
I don't want to feel this way
So please don't come to California
[Verse 1]
Why don't you want to see my face
Welcome to CA
It's where I live
You need to go back from where you came
You came to close
You want to play with a bull in the ring?
You came to close
You thought I was gonna let you stay in my state?
You wrong!
My state of Mind is New York, like Nas
Empire, like Jay
So I put my waist in the sidewalk go play
In the street with a cause
I got a fall back plan
You can't stand the rain, Missy Elliott
Well let me tell you what you'll never get
There's an elephant in the room
You gon' lose no matter how you play the game
You gon' lose if it's all the same to you
I know another place you can stay
The dark side of the moon
[Pre-Chorus]
All you ever do is break hearts
One little thing
And you're not here for that
All you ever do is break hearts
One little thing
And you're not here for that
[Chorus 2]
Please don't come to California
I don't want to see your face
Since I met you
I don't want to feel this way
Please don't come to California
I don't want to see your face
Since I left you
I don't want to feel this way
[Verse 2]
Like a Rolling Stone, Mick Jagger
I need sympathy for the devil
Inside me, he's dangerous
And he's ready for the city of angels
We're falling, I'm calling
But the phone won't ring
No fucking ring?
You don't want to be with me?
What if I cut my heart out?
Would you watch it beat?
Your talk is cheap, two cents
You want a white-picket fence?
What about mine?
It's red like wine
Running down your chin
Let me guess you're drunk again
You slur your words, you slap my face
That liquid courage, that shit don't hurt
I love that pain
You wish you could come to California
You wish you could come to California
[Outro]
I don't want to see your face
Since I left you
I don't want to feel this way
Please don't come to California
I don't want to see your face
Since I met you
I don't want to feel this way
Please don't come to California
I don't want to see your face
Since I left you
I don't want to feel this way
