iggy pop – shades lyrics

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 everythin’
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 somethin’
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 everythin’
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

it makes me come in the night
it makes me swim with delight
you are my incomprehensible
life’s not a incomprehensible
my life will change
incomprehensible life will change
