Lyrics
[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
[Verse 2]
Well, she called me up
She said, "I love you," in the middle of the night
And 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"
And I said, "Everybody loves each other these days, mmm"
[Verse 3]
I said, "I never 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"
[Verse 4]
And she said, "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"
[Verse 5]
Oh, yeah
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
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
[Verse 6]
And I don't need to think about things I don't wanna think about
She called me up in the middle of the day
She said, "I love you in the middle of the night"
I said, "Well, in the middle of the night, everybody loves everybody else
In the middle of the day"
[Verse 7]
Oh, she said, "Well, 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"
[Verse 8]
I don't need to think about things I don't wanna think about
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day
I don't wanna think about things I don't wanna think about
In the middle of the night, I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it, I don't wanna take off my sunglasses
[Verse 9]
And everybody's unworthy and everybody loves everybody else
And everybody takes off their sunglasses
Oh, baby, oh, baby, oh, baby, I don't wanna fall into the patterns
Oh, baby, oh, oh-ooh
Woo, woo
[Verse 10]
Oh, she said, "Take off your sunglasses"
I don't wanna take off my sunglasses
Take off your sunglasses
I said, "Baby, oh, that's like me askin' you to take out your shoelaces"
And she took out her shoelaces
