I saw you at the picture Wearing that dress you never liked You know the one I bought for you With purple flowers and green within stripes I know its ugly Thats why i bought it for you It needed natural beauty Pretty girl would only do Where's that dress now Put it up for sunshine Where's that smile now Let it out in the meantime I ll be waiting in northern california for you I ll be waiting in northern california for you I ll be waiting in northern california for you I ll be waiting in northern california for you I heard you had a story Told by a girl you never liked I know she is not the sweetest But she made me coffe just lately at night At least she calls me back That's nothing you'd ever do At least she takes chances (Something I could not understand) and all the tattoes Where's that dress now Put it up for sunshine Where's that smile now Let it out in the meantime I ll be waiting in northern california for you I ll be waiting in northern california for you I ll be waiting in northern california for you I ll be waiting in northern california for you
