Sunny Girlfriend
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
Painting smiles on dolls and then on me
She's my sunny girlfriend, and personality
Well, she's got a book that tells about everybody's past
And she can make you slow while making your mind move fast
She's my sunny girlfriend, and she is never last
Oh, while I am sleeping
Then she comes creeping
Into my thoughts at night
Gazing down through eyes
As bright as wonder
She can send you on your way to ev'rywhere
She is only started after you think that she is there
She's my sunny girlfriend, and she just doesn't care
Yeah, she's my sunny girlfriend
She doesn't really care
