From the recording As Is

Lyrics

Let's take a stroll now to the sea
Baby take my hand and come away with me
You know it's so very nice to get away for a while

The sand in your hair; the sun upon your face
You know it feels like an ocean and I'm making waves
It's so good the way that you smile

I just wanna roll with you baby down Manhattan Beach Boulevard
It's good for your soul to be lazy and unravel this world of ours
The people in the city they just don't understand
There's a life worth livin' that don't mean making plans
It starts on Manhattan Beach Boulevard

So let's keep on walking now and settle down where the sidewalk meets the beach
We got everything we need at Peet's Coffee and Tea
Let's watch the world spin by on a sandy beach chair
Cuz the girls are always smilin'
And the guys are always eyein'
It's perfect time to just unwind and dine here by the seaside
Like Smokey we'll cruise
Cuz we're going nowhere and we like it.. hey!

I just wanna roll with you baby down Manhattan Beach Boulevard
It's good for your soul to be lazy and unravel this world of ours
The people in the city they just don't understand
There's a life worth livin' that don't mean making plans
It starts on Manhattan Beach Boulevard

The city can be pretty but we got the world in our hands
On this sweet little street that's heading straight for the sand
It starts on Manhattan Beach Boulevard

Oh you know you know that you'll find me on Manhattan Beach Boulevard
