(VERSE)

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

I'm 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)

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



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



(CHORUS)

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm 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

While it's still free

I'm gonna soak up the sun

Before it goes out on me



(VERSE)

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



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

I'm 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



(CHORUS)

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm 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



(END)

I'm gonna soak up the sun

Got my 45 on

So I can rock on
