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 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 them


I hope we don't break up
