Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine
Oh, whoa-oh
Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me
Oh, whoa-oh
[Chorus]
Take me away (Take me away)
A secret place (A secret place)
A sweet escape (A sweet escape)
Take me away (Take me away)
[Chorus]
Take me away (Take me away)
To better days (To better days)
Take me away (Take me away)
A hiding place (A hiding place)
[Verse 2]
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine
Oh, whoa-oh (Got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine)
(Got a love, and I know that it's all mine) Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me
No, whoa-oh (Never gonna shake me, never gonna shake me)
[Verse 3]
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine
Oh, whoa-oh (I know, I know that it's all mine)
Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me
Do anything you can to control me
No, oh-no (You can't control me, you can't control me)
[Chorus]
Take me away (Take me away)
A secret place (A secret place)
A sweet escape (A sweet escape)
Take me away (Take me away)
[Chorus]
Take me away (Take me away)
To better days (To better days)
Take me away (Take me away)
A hiding place (A hiding place)
[Bridge]
There's this place that I go that nobody knows
Where the rivers flow, and I call it home
And there's no more lies, and the darkness is light
And nobody cries, there's only butterflies
[Chorus]
Take me away (Take me away)
A secret place (A secret place)
A sweet escape (A sweet escape)
Take me away (Take me away)
[Chorus]
Take me away (Take me away)
To better days (To better days)
Take me away (Take me away)
A hiding place (A hiding place)
[Chorus]
Take me away (Take me away)
A secret place (A secret place)
A sweet escape (A sweet escape)
Take me away (Take me away)
[Chorus]
Take me away (Take me away)
To better days (To better days)
Take me away (Take me away)
A hiding place (A hiding place)
[Chorus]
Take me away (I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine)
A secret place (I've got a love, and I know that it's all mine)
To better days (To better days)
Take me away (Take me away)
[Chorus]
Take me away (I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine)
To better days (I've got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh)
Take me away (Take me away)
A hiding place (A hiding place)
[Outro]
The sun is on my side, and takes me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, and know I'll be alright
The sun is on my side, and takes me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, I know I'll be alright
