[Verse 1]
DParlez-vous Francais? GI do
Just a little
DPicked it up from a waitress in SilverGlake
She told me
Her Dfather's in France and overjoyed
Thinks his dGaughter is living the Hollywood life
On a Dblow-up mattress and four roommates
She's Gterrified it's a mistake
[Chorus]
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
[Verse 2]
DA little smile tattooed on his Gknee
A reminder
DDrawn out by his reason for everyGthing
He hopes that
DOne day, he'll live in Malibu
Write a Gsong that makes it on the radio
With a Dpen on paper and the ink's run out
He's Gnever gonna leave that room
[Chorus]
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
[Verse 3]
DIf I've learned anything
It's to Gtake what you want while you've got it
DAnd the world doesn't owe me
GSo I won't take it for granted
[Chorus]
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
I just wanna Dbe with you
In the CaliGfornia sun
