Lyrics
Sponge
Bird at the window, he knows the getting is good
Comes around every morning, just a scratching for food
And his song is out of key and his feathers are frayed
But you make him feel like he's got it made
And when I see him around I know I shouldn't sponge off of you
And when I see him around I know I shouldn't sponge off of you
Giving in to that crowd I can't do
When I see him around I know I shouldn't sponge off of you
I walked off the job, I've got a lifestyle now
You say it's gonna to get better, but your eyes wonder how
Some folks get to bitching, they say I'm going no place
And my feet are just itching to take a walk on their face
And when I see them around I know I shouldn't sponge off of you
And when I see them around I know I shouldn't sponge off of you
Giving in to that crowd I can't do
When I see him around I know I shouldn't sponge off of
(Bridge) You and me - we'll get by
We'll make it better
Better!
Better!
Better!
Better! Yeah
I'm doing my best, yeah I'm playing the game
Yeah I'm making my calls, soon they'll all know my name
And I go to bed early, and I put on my tie
Because I don't want you needing, some other guy
And when I see them around I know I shouldn't sponge off of you
And when I see them around I know I shouldn't sponge off of you
Giving in to that crowd I can't do
When I see him around I know I shouldn't sponge off of
(Bridge) You and me - we'll get by
We'll make it better
Better!
Better!
Better!
Better! Yeah
We’ll get by!
