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


[Chorus]
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 come 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

[Chorus]
