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 o 


* 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)

[Repeat * , 
**]

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

[Repeat ** , * , **]

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 
45 on
So I can rock on
