I don't want to lose you, this good thing
that I got 'cause if I do
I will surely,
surely lose a lot.
'Cause your love is better
than any love I know.
It's like thunder and lightning,
the way you love me is frightening.
You better knock, knock on wood, baby.

I'm not superstitious about ya
but I can't take no chance.
I got me spinnin', baby,

'Cause your love is better
than any love I know.
It's like thunder and lightning,
the way you love me is frightening.
You better knock, knock on wood, baby.

It's no secret about it,
that woman is my loving cup
'cause she sees to it
that I get enough.
Just one touch from here,
you know it means so much.
It's like thunder and lightning,
the way you love me is frightening.
You better knock, knock on wood, baby.

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've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl.

I've even got the month of May
With my girl

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

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

Oh, baby
(I know blood is thicker than water but who you gonna satisfy?)
And satisfy me love
On the bay, yes I am
(I know blood is thicker than water but who you gonna satisfy?)
Honey, I just love you

Would you like to answer this?
(I know blood is thicker than water)
Who you gonna satisfy, darling
When the moon is shining bright, yeah

Oh baby
(I know blood is thicker than water)
Who you gonna satisfy now, yeah?
(I know blood is thicker than water)
