I wanna do the things that you do and say | I wanna do the things that you do and say | ||
And every night as you fade | And every night as you fade | ||
I feel the moon, the wicked moon, | I feel the moon, the wicked moon, his wicked way | ||
And every time | And every time she run and hide | ||
The day is cold, and in the cold I disobey | The day is cold, and in the cold I disobey | ||
And every time she run and hide | And every time she run and hide | ||
The day is dark, and in the dark I misbehave | The day is dark, and in the dark I misbehave | ||
She told me every day | Sunshine, O Sunshine | ||
Rain down on me | |||
I’ve been a bad, bad boy | |||
So give your love to me | |||
She told me every day | |||
We’d find a new love | |||
She comes and goes away | She comes and goes away | ||
And I try to be true to my love | And I try to be true to my love | ||
Give | She told me every day | ||
We’d find a new love | |||
She comes and goes away | |||
And I try to be true to my love | |||
Sunshine, O Sunshine | |||
Rain down on me | |||
I’ve been a bad, bad boy | |||
So give your love to me | |||
Cmon, sugar, give your love to me | |||
Ooh, my baby, give a little love to me | |||
Give a little love to me | |||
