When the sun pours down like honey
From the sweet California sky
Then the haze and the smog
They're both are soon forgotten

And it's the very same way with love now
When you hurt from an old affair
Then the pain will disappear
When a new love's gotten

Don't ask me why I do it
'cause you'll only say I knew it
And I'm played just like a fool everytime
Oh, but if you know the answer
Then I won't even ask her
'cause it's hard enough for me to go down one more time

When it's 10 a.m. in Doraville
It's only 7 a.m. in L.A.
She said I didn't want to wake you up
Just to warn you

So the taillights soon will flicker
And the Georgia sun will rise
But I'll be here in the dark in California

Oh, I'm a two-time loser
And I could sober up any boozer
Or at the very least make him looser in his prime
Oh,Ê I never even called her
So why does everyone say I balled her
I don't think I have the energy to go down one more time
Please don't say that it's magic
'cause it always ends up tragic
The act of love so sweet
So soon becomes a crime
Oh, please don't make me taste it
Though it seems such a shame to waste it
I don't think I have the energy to go down one more time

One more time, one more time
