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 tells me I'd better get in line
I can't hear what he's saying
When I grow up, I'm going to make it mine
But 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
But he can't even run his own life
I'll be darned if he'll run mine
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
Working starts to make me wonder where
The fruits of what I do are going
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
And he can't even run his own life
I'll be darned if he'll run mine
Sunshine come back on another day
I promise you I'll be singing
This old world, she's gonna turn around
Brand new bells'll be ringing
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 darned if he'll run mine
Sunshine go away today
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 darned if he'll run mine

Sunshine go away today
I don't know what I'm dancing
Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancing
Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancing
