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]
