"Sunny"
(Morrissey/Alain Whyte)

 

These words are transcribed without permission the way they appear in the "My Early Burglary Years" album. Additions to the printed lyrics are in darker text while omissions are striken out.

We're really missing you
(we're really missing you)
and you've only just gone
You were punched, you Well you punched and fell, and
you felt embarrassed
My heart goes out to you
So I offered love and it was not required
What else can I do?
(what else can I do?)

We're really missing you
(we're really missing you)
and you've only just gone
So Sunny send at least one thoughtful letter
My heart goes out to you
tell us all how things are so much better 1
My heart it left with you
What else can I do?

They're not forgiving you 2
and you are not even wrong
With your jean belt wrapped around
your arm - oh Sunny - my heart
goes out to you
and with the needle pressed onto tight skin
Sunny I cry when I see
where it's taking you
I'm here - I won't move
I'm here - I won't move
I'm here I will not move.
