“Cheap Sunglasses” Lyrics
Verse 1
If you like the way they look on
well you like the way they change your view
you like ’em so damn much
that you even keep them on when the sun goes down
you got a par for the beach
pair for the car
pair that you left in a booth in a bar
you won’t miss it much
only cost a couple bucks
Chorus
I don’t wanna be your cheap sunglasses
just a summer thing
beauty falls out of fashion
so easy to break, just throw away
well I’m not made of plastic
I don’t wanna be your cheap sunglasses
Verse 2
I’ll be the cool drink on your lips
I’ll be your vitamin B6
I’ll be the reason you stop on the side of the road
when the sun goes down
I’ll be the girl at the beach
girl in the car
girl that you kiss in a booth in a bar
but I wanna just stay just by the pool making you look cool
Chorus
No I don’t wanna be your cheap sunglasses
just a summer thing
beauty falls out of fashion
so easy to break, just throw away
well I’m not made of plastic
I don’t wanna be your cheap sunglasses
Well I’m not gonna be your cheap sunglasses
just a summer thing
beauty falls out of fashion
so easy to break, just throw away
whatever happens, happens
I don’t wanna be your cheap sunglasses
