Summer love on sun kissed beaches like the year is nineteen seventy-two
That So-Cal air is soft and salty like the lips and the hips on you
And I couldn't love you just like I wanted to
I should have known that come September everything would turn cool
Malibu, is that you in a movie that I found?
Seems like just yesterday you went away
Oh Malibu, oh Malibu
Winter fog wets down the bleachers like in high school back in seventy-three
That So-Cal air is gray and misty like the memories you have with me
And I couldn't keep you just like I wanted to
I should have known that come December everything would be through
Malibu, is that you in a movie that I found?
It seems like yesterday, you went away
I really loved your California sound
And I did not know I'd miss your smile
And I did not know that you're my life
Oh Malibu
I had to kiss and tell
I had to save myself Malibu
Malibu, is that you in a movie that I found?
It seems like yesterday, you went away
I really loved your California sound
And I did not know I'd miss your smile
And I did not know that you're my life
Malibu, was that you?
You're like a movie without the sound
It seems like yesterday, you went away
I really loved your California sound
I did not know I'd miss your smile
I did not know that you're my life
