Gwen Stefani - Orange County Girl

Don't know what I'm doin' back in the studio
Gettin' greedy cause he said he had another sick flow
So I had to hollaback, guess I didn't get enough
Still feel the wonderland, alice & the tick tock
If you gimme a clap, I'm gonna give an encore
Don't want it to end, I want to stank some more
I'm trippin' on the best dream that I never had
I guess behind the orange curtain it's not so bad
From the west side, Anaheim, a small world after all
Hangin' at the hotel, selling make-up at the mall
Makin' out to purple rain, just like everybody else
Dame un beso, no stop I'm trying to save myself
Ordinary common girl way back in the 7-1-4 days
Trying to figure out what I wanna be
Hangin' in the garage, me & ND

[CHORUS]
I'm just an Orange County Girl
Livin' in an extraordinary world
I'm just an Orange County Girl
Livin' in an extraordinary world
Sing - la la la la la la la
& my girls sing - la la la la la la la la
& then the guys sing - la la la la la la la
& the girls sing - la la la la la la la

A lot of things have changed, but I'm mostly the same
There are a few of my favourite things
Still rolling cuz the sound of music
& nothing better than a great big huge hit
You know I'd pay you just to let me write, dance & sing
I know I'm livin' the e-ticket dream
For a girl from OC it's almost undeard of
So I wanna thank you all so much for the love (especially my girlfriends)
Flew down to meet p, Make a hurricane in Miami
Workin' with him, gonna get myself another grammy
I got the L.A.M.B & he's rockin' the ice cream
Blend it together, something fresh & kinda in between
Writing down my feelings is something that I love
So I don't really give a fuck
Music don't come in no colour
It's time to move on, hit you with the chorus

[CHORUS]
I'm just an Orange County Girl
Livin' in an extraordinary world
I'm just an Orange County Girl
Livin' in an extraordinary world
Sing - la la la la la la la
& my girls sing - la la la la la la la la
& then the guys sing - la la la la la la la
& the girls sing - la la la la la la la

& the dream goes on & on & on & on
On & on & on & on
& the dream goes on & on & on & on
On & on & on & on
& the dream goes on & on & on & on
On & on & on & on
& the dream goes on & on & on & on
On & on &
& the dream goes

[CHORUS]
I'm just an Orange County Girl
Livin' in an extraordinary world
I'm just an Orange County Girl
Livin' in an extraordinary world
Sing - la la la la la la la
& my girls sing - la la la la la la la la
& then the guys sing - la la la la la la la
& the girls sing - la la la la la la la
