I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh oh oh
Do what you want but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh oh oh
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh oh oh
Wish that you could but you ain't gonna own me
Do anything you want you can't slow me down, oh, oh oh oh
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/n/natasha_bedingfield/pocket_full_of_sunshine.html ]
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh oh oh
Do what you want but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh oh oh
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place
There's a place that I go that nobody knows
Where the rivers flow and I call it home
And there's no more lies in the darkness there's light
And nobody cries, there's only butterflies
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place
The sun is on my side and takes me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, I 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
This song rocks. I love it. I was watching the radio disney top ten, and they played the chorus, so i thought i'd listen to it. I listened to it, and i love it. I know the whole song. I also saw her perform it on americal idol. It was so awesome. Natasha rocks. This song means she has joy and happiness, and she's in her own worl filled with it. She just wants to float wawy. And when she reaches her happy place, no one can take thay place, or feel away from her. Keep on rocking natasha.
I think that this song has a deep meaning to it! To me it means that no one can bring me down ever! So i have a happy place that i go to release everything!!

Sunshine is a slang name for drugs that helps to erase memories. Her way of escaping from reality is by taking the drug. I think the lyrics explain that regardless of anybody else, bad time, etc. , she can escape and enjoy her the trip that this drug puts her on. Nnobody can take her away like sunshine!

Well, initially i liked the song for its music... Its so catchy and provokes curiousness... But gradually, i fell in love with the song for its lyrics! They are so energising and true!!!
Everyone needs inner peace... Something which motivates them to stay happy and spread that joy to others
For me, all the definitions look simple, coz i cant think complicated.. And that's what this song is all about! Just find the 'pocketful of sunshine' and get going with it..!! Its nothing but ur intuition, which guides u to happiness and contentment, where u find 'no more lies' and there's just peace and innocence.
Thankyou natasha for singing ur soul out for this song!!! :)

I m indian boy ... I love dis song to friends... Take me away...
This song has a deeper meaning than people think. Think of in two ways:
1st perception:
Literally:
A woman in the music clawing her way to the top and finally reaching it and not letting anyone "own" or "control" her. And remembering when she was younger when all was about butterflies and loving thoughts. Youth is all about innocence and beauty and the sun shining on your face and remembering those times.
2nd perception:
Spiritual:
She has a secret that is sharing that she has learned...
Ever heard the expression "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me? " well...
As she says , "do what you want but you're never gonna break me, sticks and stones are never gonna shake me. "
And goes on to say ,"wish that you could but you ain't gonna own me... Do anything but can't control me... "
If you have heard these expressions then you know what she is talking about, if you haven't then look them up. It is simple and to the point.
She is talking about having an inner peace from what she was taught that still holds true today.. Just because someone talks bad about you, doesn't mean you are going to do it to them. You ignore it and keep on going. "turn the other cheek".. She is also seeking god's refuge to take her into her his place.. Comfort her by "turning the other cheek".. That is her "pocket full of sunshine".. She has a different path, a different perspective totally... Where "rivers flow .. No more darkness.. Light means truth :)
It's about having a positive attitude toward life despite hardship. The "love" could be anything- a secret love, love of life. God etc. While wishing to go back to better days, needing a hiding place etc suggest day to day hardship, she has love/sunshine which equal personal knowledge of something greater than herself - a faith/hope that things will improve.
