Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[1st Verse]
I know your thinkin about it.
How to approach me.
You've been really contemplating
if you should see me.
Simmer down baby
Simmer down baby
I'm gonna be the first one that will make a move on you
Its just that I can't do it right now.
Experience has taught me other wise.
And that has taught me so much in life.
[Chorus]
Cause on the first time you been up right shine
I'm just here to assure you i'm not that kind of guy.
Girl i'll be your sunshine when its raining outside.
I'm the only thing that you got goin, in your life
Simmer down
[2nd Verse]
You really should be using caution.

If you don't do it.
I'm not gon force myself on you
just call it groovin
Girl when i first layed eyes on you i felt distraught.
Your all the hard way i've been waiting for
[Repeat Chorus]
[Rap]
If there is no trust girl you can trust me.
I'll be the lover that you'll always need
Because i know that you had been hurt in the past.
Body love repelling i know will last.
Because you love me girl and i love you too.
I'll do the things that you want me to do.
Count on me you'll know i will come through.
Because its the love that we have its true.




[Repeat Chorus]
I'm your sunshine when its raining outside.

In 2004, this song is one standing memory and anthem in remembrance of our AUNTY KAHAU!! Not only because Fiji gave her this album before it hit stores, but, because she was a die-hard Fiji fan so this CD was all we we're forced to listen to. It was because not only did she feel like a big sister to most of her nieces and nephews, but, she was George's sister as well. Fiji was already family to my ATISANOE aiga and this song was her favorite. So as we put her down so her physical spirit could return to the earth, WE made sure that her best friends, brothers & sisters who was known to her as her nieces & nephews did one last electric slide dance to this song. SHE will always be my big sister more than aunty always. We went through the good, bad, heart breaks, worse, good again, not bad, then finally THEE HAPPIEST we and especially I had seen her at for the first time. I miss you KAHAU and believe me, it's not the same without you, the old lady, uncle Ano, and your favorite brother and the main main who has my heart who I love and miss till today...MY DADDY!! See you ALL SOON!!
