Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancing
Some man's gone he's tried to run my life
He don't know what he's asking

When he tells me I better get in line
I can't hear what he's saying
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 gone he's tried to run my life
He 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
But 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!
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 'il be ringing
