Lyrics

[Intro] (Yeah) (Yeah) [Verse 1] Welcome to my little world Completely self-contained, yeah (Yeah) Your problems, they will soon be gone... We soak up... (Yeah) Soak up... (Yeah) Soak up lots of pain, yeah [Verse 2] If life is a reflecting pool Then we are like a sponge, yeah (Yeah) Absorbing the good with the bad We soak up... Soak it up! Whoo! [Verse 3] So, give me all your troubled thoughts And baggage you can't handle, no (Yeah) We'll gladly take it off your back... We soak up... (Yeah) Soak up... Soak up lots of pain, yeah [Chorus] Is it any wonder, now Everybody goes insane? Everybody locks the doors To keep out any strangers Everybody's all pent up Everybody's got short fuse Getting ready to blow up We live in so much danger [Post-Chorus] Boys and girls, in a line Come and get your big reward You're not too late; just in time Just put your hand on mine, you're mine You're mine, oh... [Verse 4] When everybody has gone to bed, ooh And children are asleep, yeah (Yeah) I sit up late and watch TV... And soak up... (Yeah) Soak up... Soak up lots of pain, yeah [Verse 5] Little Junior on the bus His notebook by his side, yeah (Yeah) He hardly ever makes a fuss He soaks up so much pain, whoo! [Verse 6] We've traveled far, this monkey and me, ooh By airplane, boat, and train, yeah (Yeah) We're here to eat up all your sins... And soak up... (Yeah) Soak up... (Yeah) Soak up all your pain, yeah [Chorus] Is it any wonder, now Everybody goes insane? Everybody locks the doors To keep out any strangers Everybody's all pent up Everybody's got short fuse Getting ready to blow up We live in so much danger [Post-Chorus] Boys and girls, in a line Come and get your big reward You're not too late; just in time Put your hand on mine, you're mine You're mine, oh... [Verse 7] Boys and girls of every creed Religion and persuasion, no It's time to get up off your knees... We soak up... (Yeah) Soak it up, whoo! So, open the door and let me in Don't question who I am, no Just shake my hand and give me your name [Outro] We soak up... (Soak it up) Soak it up! Soak up... (Soak it up) Soak it up! Soak up... (Soak it up) Soak it up! Whoo!
