You've been begging for a vacation
You've had aspirations of a destination
You wanna go together
I'll be honest with you
Work's been hard
Can barely pay off the car to get me there
Baby, not all hope is lost
There's a white bottle of rum with two palms on the label sitting on the table
I know it's not what you had in mind but why not mix a drink to pass the time with me
We can take a trip to Malibu
And waste away the afternoon
We can take our time
We can take all night
Going one sip at a time
Baby, don't start the car
Give me one more new start
Baby, take off your shoes
We got nothing to do
Let's take a trip to Malibu
So I grabbed a glass and poured it fast cause the forecast says there's love on the line
Poured a drink for me and you, next thing you know we're on a beach in the living room
I think you know how the story goes
The bottle kept turning and the lights turned way down low
Turned off the TV show
Making love under a ceiling fan, but in my mind we're in the California sand
Beneath the stars of Malibu
And the bluest of moons
Nowhere else I'd rather be
With you next to me
Than by an imaginary sea
And baby who knew
That all I had to do
To make it up to you
And start anew
Was take a trip to Malibu
Take a trip down to Malibu
