Take Off Your Sunglasses Lyrics

[Intro]
Whoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ahh, okay, mmm

[Verse 1]
My baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado
Well, she put on her skis and she slid downhill
Yeah, she slid downhill in her bright red muffler
Oh, my baby, my baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado
And left me all alone for a couple of weeks
Well, she called me up, she said, "I love you in the middle of the night"
I said, "In the middle of the night, everybody loves everybody else these days"
She said, "Oh, in the middle of the day I love you very much"
I said, "Everybody loves each other these days"
Mmm mmmm, aww

[Pre-Chorus]
I said, "I don't ever get to go on any vacations"
I said, "I gotta go to work every day"
I said, "You get to slide downhill in your bright red muffler"
And she said, "I love you, oh, I love you in the middle of the day"
And she said

[Chorus]
("Take off your sunglasses")
I don't wanna take off my sunglasses
("Take off your sunglasses")
I said, "Baby, oh, the sun is bright
I need my sunglasses"
Ahhhh, yeah

[Verse 2]
And then I woke up in the middle of the night
One night and I felt so unworthy
I said, I woke up in the middle of the night
One night and I felt so unworthy
It didn't bother me too much, I think I am unworthy
And everybody's unworthy of everybody else these days
Everybody's unworthy of everybody else these days
And I don't need to think about things I don't want to think about
She called me up in the middle of the day
She said, "I love you in the middle of the night"
And I said, "In the middle of the night
Everybody loves everybody else in the middle of the day"
Oh, she said, well

[Chorus]
("Take off your sunglasses")
I don't wanna take off my sunglasses
("Take off your sunglasses")
I said "Baby, oh, why don't you take off your sunglasses?"
She said "I already have"

[Bridge]
I don't need to think about
Things I don't want to think about in the middle of the night
In the middle of the day, I don't want to think about
Things I don't want to think about in the middle of the night
I don't want to think about it
I don't want to think about it
I don't want to take off my sunglasses, and
Everybody's unworthy and
Everybody loves everybody else and
Everybody takes off their sunglasses
Oh, baby, oh, baby, oh, baby I don't want to fall into the patterns
Oh, baby
Oh ohhhhhh
Whoo whoo ooh ooh
Oh, she said

[Outro]
("Take off your sunglasses")
I don't wanna take off my sunglasses
("Take off your sunglasses")
I said, "Baby, oh, that's like me asking you to take out your shoelaces"
So, she took out her shoelaces
Ahhh
Ohhh
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
