[Verse 1]

I got my swim cap and comb and my paperback book that I'm almost through

I got my lipstick and mirror and my suntan lotion and my camera, too

I got my beach bag full of all the necessary items for a day in the sun

And of course it wouldn't be like me if I didn't bring along

[Chorus]

Some sunglasses, mm-hmm, to hide behind (Hide behind)

Sunglasses, mm-hmm, to cry behind (Cry behind)

Sunglasses, mm-hmm, to die behind

[Post-Chorus]

Here while I lie and cry, sigh and hurt

And watch you while you flirt

With your somebody new

Makin' me blue

[Verse 2]

I brought my towel and my transistor radio so I could tell the time

'Cause the Top 40 records and the weather and sports will get you off of my mind

I'll rent an umbrella from the lifeguard fellow with the dreamy eyes

And you can bet I couldn't forget my old standby

[Chorus]

My sunglasses, mm-hmm, to hide behind (Hide behind)

Sunglasses, mm-hmm, to cry behind (Cry behind)

Sunglasses, mm-hmm, to die behind

[Post-Chorus]

Here while I lie and cry, sigh and hurt

And watch you while you flirt

With your somebody new

Makin' me blue

[Outro]

Sunglasses, mm-hmm

Sunglasses, mm-hmm

Sunglasses, mm-hmm

Sunglasses, mm-hmm
