Sunshine go away today 
I don't feel much like dancin'
Some man's come he's trying to run my life 
Don't know what he's askin'
When he tells me I better get in line 
Can't hear what he's sayin'
When I grow up, I'm gonna make it mine 
These ain't dues I been payin'

How much does it cost  
I'll buy it 
The time is all we've lost
I'll try it
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 dancin'
Some man's come he's trying to run my life 
Don't know what he's askin'
Working starts to make me wonder where 
Fruits of what I do are goin'
When he says in love and war all is fair 
He's got cards he ain't showin'

How much does it cost  
I'll buy it  
The time is all we've lost,I'll try it
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 singin'
This old world, she's gonna turn around 
Brand new bells will be ringin'
