About Sunny

"Sunny" is a song by Morrissey, released as a single in December 1995. It was released by EMI to try to cash in on Morrissey's Southpaw Grammar album that had been released that year by RCA and consisted of three songs that Morrissey had recorded while under contract to EMI. "Sunny" had initially been planned to appear on the "Boxers" single released in January 1995, and "Black-Eyed Susan" had at one point been allocated to be the B-side of "The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get" in 1994.

We're really missing you 
We're really missing you 
Oh, and you've only just gone 

Oh, well, you punched and fell 
Then you felt embarrassed 
My heart goes out to you 
So I offered love 
And it was not required 
Oh, 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 
My heart, it left with you 
What else can I do? 

Oh, they're not forgiving you 
And you're not even wrong

Oh, with your jean belt wrapped around your arm 
Oh, Sunny, my heart goes out to you 
And with a needle pressed onto tight skin 
Sunny, I cry when I see where it's taken you 

Aah... 
I'm here, I won't move 
Aah... 
I'm here, I won't move 
Aah... 
I'm here, I will not move 
Aah...
