For a moment I believed   Once you came you'd never leave   Lay like that not long enough for me      You got the trackmarks of the trade   And every promise ever made   Swore that it would be the last for me      Does it give you a rush   To think that I want you so much      Said you were back to stay   I shoulda known better   Now you're half the way to California   Now I'm curled up in your side of the bed   I think about things you never said   I would have followed you to California      Smoked me like a cigarrette    Said that this won't hurt a bit   But you lied because it burned and it burned      Thanks a lot for leaving town   I'm so high I can't come down   Makes me wonder if I'll ever learn      Don't it give you a rush   To think that I want you so much      Said you were back to stay   well, I shoulda known better   Now you're half the way to California   Now I'm curled up in your side of the bed   And I'm thinking bout things you never said   I would have followed you to California      Do you come back 'cause you can    Am I just waiting for a ghost of a man?      Does it give you a rush?   To think that I want you so much      Said you were back to stay   I shoulda known better   Now you're half the way to California   Now I'm curled up in your side of the bed   I think about things you never said   I would have followed you to California      Said you were back to stay   Well I shoulda known better   Now you're half the way to California   (I want you so bad)   Curled up in your side of the bed   I think about things you never said   I would have followed you to California   (I want you so bad)   California      Said you were back to stay   well, I shoulda known better   Now you're half the way to California   Curled up in your side of the bed   I'm thinking bout things you never said   I would have followed you to California   (I want you so bad)
