[Verse 1]
My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got
[Chorus]
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
(I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
[Verse 2]
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
[Chorus 2]
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too
[Chorus]
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
(I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
[Bridge]
I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
[Verse 3]
Don't have no master suite
I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
[Chorus 2]
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too
[Chorus]
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
(I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
[Outro]
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on
