I Got to Get to California Marvin Gaye

[Intro]
Oh, I got to get to California right away
Oh, now I got to get to California right away

[Verse 1]
Just to see the evening sun, oh, setting in the west
Breaks my heart 'cause it reminds me of the true love that I left
In the sunset I can see my baby's face just haunting me
Reminding me of the tenderness that heaven knows was in her kiss
I had a love that was mine, mine, mine, mine alone
But I played the fool and Lord I left my happy home

What a fool a man can be, but this loneliness inside of me says

[Chorus]
I got to get to California right away
Oh, I got to get to California

[Verse 2]
I wish I was there by my baby's side
Lord, I wish I had listened to my heart and not my pride
She tried to tell me that I had no reason for jealousy
But I was blinded by my pride and I just couldn't see
Now I've got to hurry, I've got a reason to worry
I've got to be on the move, true love I'm gonna lose
