Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancing
Some man's come he's trying to run my life
Don't know what he's asking

When he tells me I better get in line
Can't hear what he's saying
When I grow up, I'm gonna make him mine
These ain't dues, I been paying

How much does it cost? I'll buy it
The time is all we've lost, I'll try it
And he can't even run his own life
I'll be damned if he'll run mine, sunshine

Sunshine, go away today
I don't feel much like dancing
Some man's come, he's trying to run my life
Don't know what he's asking

Working starts to make me wonder where
Fruits of what I do are going
When he says in love and war all is fair
He's got cards he ain't showing

How much does it cost? I'll buy it
The time is all we've lost, I'll try it
And he can't even run his own life
I'll be damned if he'll run mine, sunshine

Sunshine, come on back another day
I promise you, I'll be singing
This old world, she's gonna turn around
Brand new bells will be ringing
