Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will never understand you
When will I stop trying?
I mean 'cause it's just not how I planned to
Spend my time till dyin', I mean
[Verse 2]
Champagne, California on the brain
She got an appetite for no refrain
Just verses she curses
Her blood vessel bursts in defiance
She made alliance to the dark side of Hollywood
Where everything looks good
So I treat her as any other player would
Lightly then she wants to fight me
[Verse 3]
Too bad, that's just too bad
I can't be around to pick up your bags and your debts
She wants to love me with threats
Not takin' chances, I'm hedgin' my bets
With other girls, not providing pearls
I'm free, free
[Verse 4]
I will never understand you
When will I stop trying?
I mean 'cause it's just not how I planned to
Spend my time till dyin', I mean
[Verse 5]
I know lovin' me isn't easy
I'm on the next thing, I'm leavin'
When I look at you it's like prayin' with my eyes
Follow you to sleep so I will
Find your dream place and hey I'm not
An angel but girl, you make me feel like I know one
One
[Verse 6]
Champagne, California on the brain
She got an appetite for no refrain
Just verses she curses
Her blood vessel bursts in defiance
She made alliance to the dark side of Hollywood
Where everything looks good
So I treat her as any other sucker would
Tightly then she wants to fight me
[Verse 7]
Too bad, that's just too bad
I can't be around to pick up your bags and your debts
She wants to love me with threats
Not takin' chances, I'm hedgin' my bets
With other girls, not providing pearls
I'm free, free
[Verse 8]
Never understand
