In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
I think you like it a lot
I think you like what you see
I know you like what you got, babe
That's what you got with me
[Chorus]
This heart, these hands
Are made to understand
This girl and that man
If we don't make it no one can
Oh baby
Oh I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
This woman is in love
I think you like a little solo
A little one on one
A little old fashioned feel good
Make me emotionally numb
[Chorus]
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
This woman is in love
[Chorus]
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
I cry myself to sleep at night
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
And I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I think you like what you see
I know you like what you got, babe
That's what you got with me
[Chorus]
This heart, these hands
Are made to understand
This girl and that man
If we don't make it no one can
Oh baby
Oh I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
This woman is in love
I think you like a little solo
A little one on one
A little old fashioned feel good
Make me emotionally numb
[Chorus]
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
This woman is in love
[Chorus]
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
I cry myself to sleep at night
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
And I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
