Oh yeah

I know blood is thicker than water
But who you gonna satisfy?
I know in your mother's eye
You're the only baby child
(Baby child, baby child)

I know blood is thicker than water
But I just can't come and see
If you let your family stand between you and me
(You and me, you and me)

'Cause I love you and you love me
That's the way it's supposed to be
Tell your folks to leave us alone
Get your things, come on home

I know blood is thicker than water
But who you gonna satisfy, oh?
Oh yeah

But who you gonna satisfy, girl?
I know in your mama's eye
You're the only baby child

I know blood is thicker than water
I just had to come and see
If you let your family stand between you and me
(You and me, you and me)

You see, I need you, you need me
We can't live off the family tree
Tell your folks to leave us alone
Get your things and come on home

As I stand here these evening
Looking out over the metropolis of Los Angeles, California
I can't help but think about the young lady that I met here
So I wrote a song tonight and I call it my California girl

California girl, you're living in a different world
Let the sun shine in, right here where my love begins
No, I won't ever hurt you, no, I won't make you cry, no
California girl, I'm gonna love, love you till the day I die, yeah
Everybody help me sing this song one more time, yeah

California girl, you're living by the sand and sea
And it means every little thing now, now that you belong to me
Oh, I'm gonna make you happy, oh, I'm gonna see you smile, yeah
My California, California, California
I'm gonna love you baby, till the day I die, yeah

California girl, oh, you live in a different world, yes you are
And it means every little thing darling, now that you are my girl, yeah
No, I won't never hurt you, baby, I won't see you cry, no
My California, California, California
I'm gonna love you baby, till the day I die, yeah

Everybody help me sing these song one more time
California girl, California girl
Oh, I'm gonna love you baby, yes I am
Till the day, the day, the day, the day I die, yeah

You see I'm not ashamed tonight
To say these words to the young lady
That I met at the metropolis of Los Angeles, California, huh
And as I look out over the sky tonight
Through the fog and through the smog
I can't help but think about that young girl, oh, oh, oh baby
Everybody, help me, help me sing one more time, yeah

I know you're tryin' to be a big girl
And keep the tears from your eyes
And it's going to be a little hard
To lift your head up high

And you're gonna need a man
A man who'll understand
Whoa, darlin' darlin' darlin'
Please consider me

Well, I know that all your friends
Have left you all alone
And all the good times
You had with them are gone

So you need yourself a man
Yeah, and I'll understand
Well, darlin' darlin' darlin'
Please consider me

Baby, oh I've felt
This way before
Many many many many many
Times before

So you've got to have a man
Yeah, and you know I'll understand
Whoa, darlin' darlin' darlin'
Just consider me

I don't want to be left on the outside
Please consider me babe
I don't want to be left all alone
Please consider me, yeah
I don't want to be left on the outside baby
Please consider me, yeah

Ain't no love, ain't no love, like my baby's love.
It's like burnin' fire, set off in my bones.
Ain't no lonely days, ain't no lonely nights.
Every little thing that she does,
You know the girl's alright.
Cause I ain't never, never, found me a girl,

Love me like you do, to love me like you do.

Ain't no man, ain't no man, go a little woman like me.
You got all the lovin' baby, what a sweet girl can claim.
You're every poor boys dream, you're every poor boys dream,
More than you're every rich mans friend.
Whoa but I'm gonna give you all my money honey,
If you'll stay right there,
Cause I ain't never, never, found me a girl,
Love me like you do, to love me like you do.

Cause I ain't never, never, found me a girl,
Love me like you do, to love me like you do.

Love me like you do, to love me like you do
