It Never Rains (In Southern California) Lyrics by Tony! Toni! Toné!

The Revival

1990

[Intro: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California
I'll see you when I get there
[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
I haven't seen your face in a year
I can't wait 'til I get there
Just to kiss and squeeze and hug
And girl, you know the rest, 'cause they tell me
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California (And they tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]
Maybe I'll take a flight out tonight
And you can pick me up about 8
I don't know what airline, girl
But I know it won't be late 'cause they tell me
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California (They tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
[Bridge: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Now I can't sleep at night
Without your 8x10 by my side
That day will come
For us to be together
I'm not worried 'bout a thing
Not even stormy weather
Baby, baby, baby
[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Now, it may be cold on the East Coast
But on the other side of town, it never rains
[Verse 3: Raphael Saadiq]
We have so much to talk about
A lotta catching up to do
I'll bring the diamond, girl
Because I'm so into you 'cause they tell me
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California (They tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
[Verse 4: Raphael Saadiq]
Now since I'll be here at your place
Let's take a week's trip for two
We don't have to go too far
Just as long as I'm with you 'cause they tell me
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California (And they tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
[Bridge: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Can we just be alone
Without those other strangers calling your phone
Now I don't wanna be that selfish kind of guy
But tonight let me take you on a natural high
Just me and you alone
[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Now, it may be cold on the East Coast (May be)
But on the other side of town, it never rains (A-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo)
Now, it may be cold on the East Coast (May be, may be)
But on the other side of town, it never rains
I'll see you when I get there
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California
(I wanna be right there with you)
It never rains in Southern California
(There's nothing else I'd rather do)
It never rains in Southern California
(Baby, baby, baby)
It never rains in Southern California
(I'll see you when I get there, hoo-hoo)
[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Now, it may be cold on the East Coast (The East Coast)
But on the other side of town it never rains
Now, it may be cold on the East Coast (May be, the East Coast)
But on the other side of town, it never rains
(I just wanna be with you)
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
It never rains in Southern California
(That's what they tell me)
It never rains in Southern California
(Girl, I wanna be with you for the rest of my life)
It never rains in Southern California
(Oh, oh, yeah)
It never rains in Southern California
(Now, I want to hug you, squeeze you)
It never rains in Southern California
(I wanna see your pretty little smile)
It never rains in Southern California
(A-hoo-hoo-woo-woo, woo)
It never rains in Southern California
(Let's go take a walk on the beach)
It never rains in Southern California (Oh, baby)
