You were my sunshine, my only sunshine   When skies were cloudy, I was doing just fine   You said you missed me;   "After this semester,   We could take a ride down and pass the time"      But if all the same,   I'd become quite content with a young lady   That I entertain      No, we don't talk much   But she lets me hold her   And she puts my old ways straight to shame      I got a home and the house right where I left it   I think I should take some time   They're all sitting around,   Oh baby, come back to life   If you don't, I think I'll be fine      I've got these new friends   That work the night shift   At the basement on the corner of Third   They bring me liquor   But I can't drink it   No, I feel lonely and absurd      You got a home and your house right where you left it   I think I will take my time   We're all sitting around   Oh baby, come back to life   I'm just hoping one day I will die      Its so much easier to complain,   When you've got nothing to say   Its so much easier to maintain   A sense of who you are   Its so much easier to sustain   A relationship that we can't even give a name   And I'm so sorry      We got a home and the house right where we left it   I think you should take some time   We're all sitting around   Oh baby, come back to life   I'm just hoping I can stay alive      I got a home and my house right where I left it   I think I will take my time   And one day I promise I'll come back to life   And that day, girl,   You will be mine
