It's a sunny day in california   But that old sun it's shining on me right here at home   It's one of those days   When those great ideas they just seem to fall out on you   And they always fall the greatest when you're falling all alone   It makes for a good day for some serious reflection   And massive rationalization   For contemplating the future of the future   And the last of the past   And wondering if you could ever forgive me darling   All the trouble that I put to you   And if I could forget all those questions   That I never asked   And if I could forgive   The temporary weight gain due to excess water retention   I could forgive the rest too   It's just a fact of life   That no one cares to mention   She wasn't good   But she had good intentions      So the grass it grows   When the sun it shines   And my face it glows   When the woman's mine   And you say I'm a fool-around   Honey that may be true   But I'd sooner fool around   Than be a fool for a fool   And if I could forgive   The unadulterated adulterating apprehension   I could forgive the rest too   It's just a fact of life   That no one cares to mention   She wasn't good   But she had good intentions      So I'm twenty-six and rising   Still too young to live   But too low to go   I guess it's the process   Of learning to excess   All of those things   That you already know   And if I could forgive   The honey-i-swear-it-didn't-mean-a-thing-to-me   Attempt at abstention   I could forgive the rest too   It's just a fact of life   That no ones cares to mention   She wasn't good   But she had good intentions
