Shades

You gave me a present
The paper was blue and green
I unwrapped it with pleasure
These are the best shades I've ever seen

You can be my girlfriend
Forever and a day
I never thought I was worth much
Or that anyone would treat me this way

I'm not the kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you

It makes me calm in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades

I could have had a problem
I might have never followed through
The other guys are in trouble
They wouldn't listen to a girl like you

These shades say something
I'll bet they cost a lot
I hope I don't break 'em
I hope we don't break up

I'm not the kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you

It makes me calm in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades

It makes me calm in the night
It makes me swim with delight
You are my flag
Light's not a drag
I like these shades

I like these shades
