California Soul Songtext
von Edwin Starr

Like a song 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

It's California soul, California soul

They say the sun comes up every morning
And if you listen carefully (Listen carefully)
The wind that rides on the high tide
Can whistle a melody
So the people started to sing
That's how the surf gave birth, I′m told
To California soul, oh-oh, California soul


When you hear the beat, you wanna pat your feet
And you′ve got to move 'cause it′s, huh
It's really such a groove, yeah, uh-huh
It puts a brand new kind of thinking in your mind
And you can′t go wrong 'cause you′re happy all day long

Huh, it's California soul, California soul

They had the melody and the beat
But it still didn't seem complete, yeah
Until they saw two lovers kissing
And then they knew just what was missing
So happy, they were rocking and reeling
Because they′d added that loving feeling
To California soul, oh-oh, California soul

Mmm, California soul, yeah
It′s California soul, oh
You've got to feel it
′Cause it's California soul, yeah
