Steppin' Out Lyrics

Q: It Never Rains In Southern California

Got on board a westbound seven forty-sevenDidnt think before deciding what to doOoh that talk of opportunities TV breaks and moviesRang true sure rang trueSeems it never rains in southern CaliforniaSeems Ive often heard that kind of talk beforeIt never rains in California but girl dont they warn ya?It pours man it poursIm out of work Im out of my headOut of self respect Im out of breadIm underloved Im underfed I want to go homeIt never rains in California but girl dont they warn ya?It pours man it poursWill you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?Had offers but didnt know which one to takePlease dont tell em how you found meDont tell em how you found meGimme a break give me a breakSeems it never rains in southern CaliforniaSeems Ive often heard that kind of talk beforeIt never rains in California but girl dont they warn ya?It pours man it pours

Q: Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood
