Miss California what did I do wrong It seems I've loved you For just a little too long You've gone and you've left me For some preacher's way Now you act like you never knew me And you can't hear a word I say Miss California did I get in your way Did the neighbors warn you What would happen some day That a love like mine Was never good anyway They said think about your reputation Before you get carried away Don't you know what's good for me can be good for you Don't you know what's good for me can be good for you Don't you know what's good for you Can be good for me too Don't you know what's good for me can be good for you Miss California was I a little too proud I'm standing in the streets now And I'm screaming out loud You try to shove me in the closet With your skulls and your bones I can be who I am you see If I want to do it all alone Your sweet seduction led me far from home Your self-destruction gives me sticks and stones Your propositions make me feel so cold When the hand that's trying to keep me down Is the one that I'm trying to hold I know the hand that's trying to force me back Is the one that won't let me go Miss California Yeah yeah yeah
