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
    [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
    [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.
