Lyrics & Translation

[English]
I need, I need
I need, I need you
I need, I need
I need, I need you
It's a Friday night
And I'm not in the mood
I'd rather chill with you
Tonight
(I need, I need)
Summer's here to stay
But I'm not doing fine
'Cause the sun don't shine my way
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
(I need, I need)
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
(I need, I need)
The sun don't shine
I could have it all
But nothing ever matters when you're gone now
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
(I need, I need)
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
I-I-I-I need, I need
I need, I need you
I need, I need
I need, I need
I need, I need
I need, I need you
I need, I need
I need, I need you
It's a Friday night
It's about half past two
I'd rather be with you
Yeah, tonight
(I need, I need)
Summer's here to stay
Something just ain't right
'Cause the sun won't shine
My way, my way
Your body says it all
It's to tell me to let go
My heart's about to blow
So I don't want to know
(I need, I need)
I've got it open now
But I don't have it together
Baby I'm no good
And without you I'm no better
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
(I need, I need)
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
(I need, I need)
The sun don't shine
I could have it all
But nothing, never matters
When you're gone, now
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
(I need, I need)
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
Where do I, where do I go
When you're not here no more, oh
Where do I, where do I go
When you're not here no more
When the house, no longer feels like a home
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
No, no
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
(I need, I need)
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
Baby
The sun don't shine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bada, ba-ba-bada
Without you, without you
I-I-I-I need, I need
I need, I need you
I need, I need
I need, I need
I need, I need
I need, I need you
I need, I need
I need, I need you
I need, I need you
