When I once went out shopping br I bought a pair of glasses br But pity I couldn’t wear them br In between all my classes. br I still loved wearing those glasses br Even though I could see well br We never were separated br For more time than the tinkle of a bell br But there was something odd about those glasses br When I wore them things seemed to shrink br And things began to disappear br Like things that I eat or drink br Even people didn’t accept me br Like all my friends at school br I guess they don’t think I am smart, br Dashing, rocking or cool br So one day I took off my glasses br In the crowded school hallway br When everybody began saying compliments like, “You’re cool” br This wonderful dream can’t be true, no way. br Now I have all my friends back br But I have given up one thing br “I’ve got rid of my glasses” br Is the song which I now always sing.
