My baby lives in shades of blue Blue eyes and jazz and attitude He lives in California too He drives a Chevy Malibu And when he calls He calls for me and not for you He lives for love, he loves his drugs He loves his baby too But I can’t fix him, can’t make him better And I can’t do nothing about this strange weather
But you are unfixable I can’t break through your world ‘Cause you live in shades of cool Your heart is unbreakable
And maybe someone new
My baby lives in shades of cool Cool heart, and hands and aptitude He lives for love, for women, too I’m one of many, one is blue
‘Cause you are unfixable I can’t break through your world ‘Cause you live in shades of cool Your heart is unbreakable
And when he calls He calls for me and not for you He prays for love, he prays for peace
(You’re hot, hot, weather in the summer High, high, neglectful lover Hot, hot, weather in
But I can’t help him, can’t make him better And I can’t do nothing about his strange weather
the summer High, a bird flew over You’re crumbling, sadly I’m sorry You’re gone with me) You are unfixable I can’t break through your world ‘Cause you live in shades of cool Your heart is unbreakable

I’m pretty when I cry. All those special times I spent with you, my love, They don’t mean shit compared to all your drugs. But I don’t really mind I’ve got much more than that. Like my memories, I don’t need that. I’ll wait for you, babe, You don’t come through, babe, You never do, babe, That’s just what you do.

Blue hydrangea, cold cash, divine, Cashmere, cologne and white sunshine. Red racing cars, Sunset and Vine, The kids were young and pretty. Where have you been? Where did you go? Those summer nights seem long ago, And so is the girl you used to call, The Queen of New York City. But if you send for me you know I’ll come, And if you call for me you know I’ll run. I’ll run to you, I’ll
run to you, I’ll run, run, run. I’ll come to you, I’ll come to you, I’ll come, come, come. Ohh, Ohh. Ahh, Ahh. The power of youth is on my mind, Sunsets, small town, I’m out of time. Will you still love me when I shine, From words but not from beauty? My father’s love was always strong, My mother’s glamour lives on and on, Yet still inside I
felt alone, For reasons unknown to me. But if you send for me you know I’ll come, And if you call for me you know I’ll run. I’ll run to you, I’ll run to you, I’ll run, run, run. I’ll come to you, I’ll come to you, I’ll come, come, come.
Ohh, Ohh. Ahh, Ahh. Blue hydrangea, cold cash, divine, Cashmere, cologne and hot sunshine. Red racing cars, Sunset and Vine, And we were young and pretty.
Ohh, Ohh. Ahh, Ahh. And if you call, I’ll run, run, run, If you change your mind, I’ll come, come, come.

The other woman has time to manicure her nails The other woman is perfect where her rival fails And she’s never seen with pin curls in her hair anywhere The other woman enchants her clothes with French perfume The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room There are never toys that’s scattered everywhere
And when her old man comes to call He finds her waiting like a lonesome queen ‘Cause to be by her side it’s such a change from old routine
Alone
But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep The other woman will never have his love to keep And as the years go by the other woman will spend her life alone, alone
