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 o I'm gonna soak up the sun  I'm gonna soak up the sun  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  Maybe i am crazy too    [CHORUS]    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  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  Got my 45 on  So I can rock on.
