Lyrics
You say you don't know me
Expressing a feeling of unfamiliarity or distance from the speaker
Or that you don't wanna try
Indicating reluctance or hesitation to make an effort to understand
But I need you right now
Expressing an immediate need for the listener's presence
I'm gonna show you why
Committing to demonstrate the reasons for needing the listener
Hey, baby, would you like to be my sunshine?
Inviting the listener to become a positive and bright presence in the speaker's life
Cause the way you walk's got me feeling fine
Complimenting the listener's attractive and appealing way of walking
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Expressing joy or excitement through repeated vocalization
My lil sunshine now
Referring to the listener as a small but significant source of happiness
I can't get over
Stating difficulty in overcoming feelings or thoughts about the listener
The way you tease me
Acknowledging a playful or teasing behavior from the listener
But if you came over
Expressing a desire for the listener to come closer physically
Lemme love you substantially
Offering to love the listener in a substantial and meaningful way
Ha!
An exclamation, possibly indicating enthusiasm or emphasis
Hey, baby, would you like to be my sunshine?
Repeating the invitation for the listener to be a positive force in the speaker's life
Cause the way you talk's got me feeling fine
Highlighting the positive impact of the listener's way of speaking
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Expressing joy or excitement through repeated vocalization (repeated from line 7)
My lil sunshine now
Reiterating the listener's role as a small but significant source of happiness
Come on!
Encouraging the listener to take action or join in a particular activity
Yeah!
An enthusiastic affirmation or agreement
Woo!
An exclamation, possibly indicating excitement or celebration
