Just like California was not even there Since it's gone I'm so withdrawn I ain't got no one nowhere Right beside the ocean my darlin' Clementine Well the water got high and she never got dry and She was a water sign CHORUS: Time is on my bad side Halfway there just wouldn't be fair So I'm goin' all the way tonight Halfway there just wouldn't be fair So I'm goin' all the way tonight Just like California to make a fool of me Steal the sideshow, burn the disco Slide into the sea I'm a thinking person, and I think that it's wrong To keep on saying true love's waiting When true love is long gone (repeat chorus)
