"California Soul" lyrics
(with Tammi Terrell)
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
You can't forget
From sunrise to sunset
It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It's gonna get a hold on you
California soul
California soul
They say the sun
Comes up every mornin'
And if you listen carefully
The winds that ride
On the high tide
Whistle a melody
So the people started to sing
And that's how the
Surf gave birth, I'm told (Woo), to
California soul
California soul
When you hear the beat
You want to pat your feet
And you've gotta move cause
It's really such a groove
Puts a brand-new kind of
Thinking in your mind
You can't go wrong
'Cause you're happy all day long, yeah, baby (Ooh, yeah)
California soul
California soul
They had the melody and the beat (Oh, yeah)
But it still didn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissing
And they knew just what was missing
So happy they were
Rocking and reeling
Because they added
That loving feeling, woo, to
California soul
California soul
California soul, hoo
Now, it can move you, baby
Really move you
It can groove you, baby
Mm, yeah
California soul, now, now, now
California soul, yeah, California soul
Satisfaction, darling, I know (Hmm, hmm)
Would be your
That lingers in your ear
You can't forget
From sunrise to sunset
It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It's gonna get a hold on you
California soul
California soul
They say the sun
Comes up every mornin'
And if you listen carefully
The winds that ride
On the high tide
Whistle a melody
So the people started to sing
And that's how the
Surf gave birth, I'm told (Woo), to
California soul
California soul
When you hear the beat
You want to pat your feet
And you've gotta move cause
It's really such a groove
Puts a brand-new kind of
Thinking in your mind
You can't go wrong
'Cause you're happy all day long, yeah, baby (Ooh, yeah)
California soul
California soul
They had the melody and the beat (Oh, yeah)
But it still didn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissing
And they knew just what was missing
So happy they were
Rocking and reeling
Because they added
That loving feeling, woo, to
California soul
California soul
California soul, hoo
Now, it can move you, baby
Really move you
It can groove you, baby
Mm, yeah
California soul, now, now, now
California soul, yeah, California soul
Satisfaction, darling, I know (Hmm, hmm)
Would be your
