You're Not My Sunshine Lyrics

Didn't you get my call?
Didn't you hear the news at all?
I looked for you one last time
I looked for you, but I knew what I'd find

So I,
Threw it all away,
Cause I knew you'd say,
It's a million to one,
Not feeling lucky today
In the milky way
There's a fire that's strayed,
And it's too far gone
To be my sunshine today
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine

Why couldn't you be somewhere else?
Why couldn't you stay closer now?
Nothing to do but slide down for miles
Nothing to do but be alone a while

Like a falling bird
Or a silenced word
Or the fools too high,
I guess I stumbled again
From the highest rung,
Hear my favorite song
But it's too far gone
To be my sunshine today
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine

Like a fallen bird,
Or a silenced word
Or the fools too high,
I guess I stumbled again
Can't reach Superman,
Or Italian sand
Cause It's too far gone
To be my sunshine today
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
Ahh...

Didn't you get my call?
Didn't you hear the news at all?
I looked for you one last time
I looked for you, but I knew what I'd find

So I,
Threw it all away,
Cause I knew you'd say,
It's a million to one,
Not feeling lucky today
In the milky way
There's a fire that's strayed,
And it's too far gone
To be my sunshine today
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine

Why couldn't you be somewhere else?
Why couldn't you stay closer now?
Nothing to do but slide down for miles
Nothing to do but be alone a while

Like a falling bird
Or a silenced word
Or the fools too high,
I guess I stumbled again
From the highest rung,
Hear my favorite song
But it's too far gone
To be my sunshine today
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine

Like a fallen bird,
Or a silenced word
Or the fools too high,
I guess I stumbled again
Can't reach Superman,
Or Italian sand
Cause It's too far gone
To be my sunshine today
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
Ahh...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
