Lyrics

Like a sound you hear that lingers in your ear But you can't forget, from sundown to sunset, now It's all in the air, you hear it everywhere No matter what you do it's gonna grab a hold on you California soul California soul They say the sun comes up every morning And if you listen oh so carefully The winds that ride on the high tide Whistles a melody So the people started to sing And that's how the surf gave birth untold To California soul California soul (Ooh, feels good) When you hear the beat you wanna pat your feet And you've got ta move 'cause it's really such a groove, now Puts a brand new kind of thinking in your mind And you can't go wrong 'cause you're groovin' all day long California soul California soul They had the melody and the beat, yo But it still didn't seem complete, yes Until they saw two lovers kissing, oh sure They knew just what was missing So happy they were rocking and reeling Because they had added that loving feeling To California soul California soul, might as well get with it Sound you hear that lingers in your ear Oh, you just cannot forget, from the morning 'till the sun goes down So just gimme, yeah, just gimme, yeah Oh, it's all a trend
