[Intro]
Mmm mmm
[Verse 1]
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
And you can't forget
From sunrise to sunset, yeah
It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
And no matter what you do
It's gonna get hold on you
[Chorus]
It's California soul (California soul)
California soul

[Chorus]
To California soul, oh woah
California soul
Mmm mmmm
[Verse 3]

And you can't go wrong
Cause you're happy all day long
[Chorus]
Huh, it's California soul (California soul)
California soul
[Bridge]

Until they saw two lovers kissin'
And then they knew just what was missin'
So happy, they were rockin' and reelin'
Because they added that lovin' feeling
[Chorus]
To California soul, oh woah oh
California soul
Mmm hmm mm
[Outro]
California soul, yeah
It's California soul
Oh, you've got to feel it (California soul)
'Cause it's California soul, yeah (California soul)
Oh, you can't get away from ...
