[Hook: Cee-Lo]
Yeah the sun is shining brighter
Cause she make my day
Yeah, you really make my day
Ahh-haah-ohh...Ohh-ohh-ohh
Yeah, I think I like her
Cause she really makes my day
Yeah, she really makes my day
Ahh-haah-ohh...Ohh-ohh-ohh

[Verse 1: Common]
Seen her on the beach, she was wrapped in a towel
Her body's so endowed, seen her ass, cracked a smile
Enjoying the Nile, taking the breeze in
On some cat and mouse and she was, just cheesing
The sun eased in our conversation
California dreamin' 'bout Californication
Said she had some drinks in the cooler and I had an invitation
If I wanted I could brew up, this is just an indication
Of how cool she was
A couple chicks came up with their groupie love
They ain't want no pictures, only to be hugged
I'm thinkin' DAMN, damn, that's really cool because
Sometimes I wanna chill
Sometimes the best things in life are not in your plans
You came to the sand and got more than a tan
Baby girl, I'm a man and we can do this my way
Take a ride on the highway and pretend like it's Friday and it is

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Common]
She was at a barbecue
Pretty painted nails, she took off her shoes
She was 'show and tell' like it was grammar school
Sipping on some ale, I'm thinking, "Man, she cool!"
Sun smiling on her hair
Hey, they playing spades and we can be a pair
She had a spread on her, I can see it from her chair
I love it when it's sunny, girl, you could be my Cher
It's, Independence Day and free is in the air
We danced and danced away, yo
Showed her how to step, it's like a tango
From her body angle, I can tell she like me
She got me a flav, girl you're sweet as Icee
Spicy talk, the sauce drip from my lips
Take tricks and let's dip, we can do something hip
Take a trip around the world in a day, play Fiona A
Let your worries blow away like it's all okay, and it is!

[Hook x2]

Common

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy and Oscar-winning rapper and actor from Chicago, Illinois. Common’s inspired mix of poetic flow and hip-hop soul has helped him earn his status as one of the most respected rappers in the game.

After being a ball boy for his hometown Chicago Bulls as a teen and attending Florida A&M University for business administration, Common Sense kicked in and he left school to become a rapper. He gained national attention after being featured in the Unsigned Hype column of The Source magazine in 1991. He released his debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar? through Relativity Records in 1992, followed by his breakthrough second album Resurrection in 1994, which features his hip-hop classic single “I Used To Love H.E.R.”

As his career began to take off, he was sued by the music group Common Sense over the name, leading Common to drop the “Sense” and allude to the change in the title of his third album, One Day It’ll All Make Sense (1997). He has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Like Water For Chocolate (2000), which features his J Dilla-produced hit single “The Light”, and Be (2005), which was released under fellow Chicago musician Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint. He also joined musicians Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper to form the group August Greene, and the trio released their self-titled album in 2018.
