| You’ve felt alone since you were only seven
|
| Your mother didn’t have a clue what to do
|
| You cried each night until you were eleven
|
| You prayed that God would bring your daddy back to you
|
| It got much worse when you were in high school
|
| From guy to guy, you wondered why you never felt a thing
|
| You wondered if you’d ever find a lover who’d someday
|
| Get down on his knees, holding that diamond ring
|
| This summer’s taking me to California
|
| But I won’t go until you know that what I say is true
|
| When everything you’ve ever loved has left you
|
| I’ll be there, yeah, I’ll be there for you
|
| Your senior year, you and your friends went crazy
|
| But then you found out who your friends really were
|
| You were betrayed by everyone that mattered
|
| So you drank until it all became a blur
|
| But don’t forget about when I first met you
|
| Well, I can see a pain too deep to kiss away
|
| You thought that I would be another let down
|
| So here I am, proving to you that I am here to stay
|
| This summer’s taking me to California
|
| But I won’t go until you know that what I say is true
|
| When everything you’ve ever loved has left you
|
| I’ll be there, yeah, I’ll be there for you
|
| I don’t wanna leave you lonely
|
| I just wanna be right here
|
| Even if you don’t believe me
|
| I will try to make it clear
|
| This summer’s taking me to California
|
| But I won’t go until you know that what I say is true
|
| When everything you’ve ever loved has left you
|
| I’ll be there, yeah, I’ll be there for…
