Sunshine
Shirley Bassey · Other Songs - Shirley Bassey
I don't feel much like dancin'
Some man's come, he's tried to run my life
Don't know what he's asking
He tells me I better get in line,
Can't hear what he's sayin'
When I grow up, I'm gonna make him mind
These ain't dues I've 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 tried to run my life
Don't know what he's askin'
Workin' 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 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 singing
This old world, she's gonna turn around
Brand new bells'll be ringing
Sunshine
