Soak up the Sun

Artist: Sheryl Crow

Album: C'Mon C'Mon

Song Length: 4:52

George's Thoughts: This is a good tune for Cha Cha Cha in social dance settings. The lyrics don't make a whole lot of sense, but I like the tune and the beat. I'm not quite sure what Sheryl means with that first verse but I doubt she's making some kind of political statement.

Song Lyrics:

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

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

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
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
Before it goes out on me


[Chorus] (x2)

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