It's a sunny day in sunny 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 [bad word] 
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
