Come
running 'round the corner
See what I can find
Don't ya play me for a fool
Or I'll leave you behind
What it is you're saying
It's all a shady deal
Stop doing something wrong
Instead show me something real
(chorus)
You been sponging such a long time
You been taking such a long time
And you keep reachin' but there's nothing to give
And that's no way to live
I
might have lost my fortune
But I haven't lost my soul
Maybe you'll find a weakness
If I just let it go
Carry on believin'
That it's all a waste of time
Now that yours is gone
Come on, use up all of mine
(chorus)
You're
just a sponge baby
Ain't
got no illusions
Ain't lookin' for no fame
I won't sit and watch my freedom
Go runnin' down the drain
You can take possessions
But you will not take my pride
When I stare you down
You ain't takin' what is mine
You're
just a sponge baby
