[Verse 1]
My baby lives in Shades of Blue.
Blue eyes, blue jazz, blue attitude.
He lives in California, too.
He drives a Chevy Malibu.
But when he calls, he calls for me and not for you.
He lives for love, he loves the drugs, he loves his baby, too.

[Pre-Chorus]
But you can't fix it, can't make it better.
And you can't do nothing about his strange weather.

[Chorus]
You are unfixable.
I can't break through your world.
'Cause you live in Shades of Cool.
Your heart is unbreakable.

[Verse 2]
My baby lives in Shadеs of Cool.
Cool heart, cool hands, cruel aptitude.
Hе lives for fun, for women, too.
I'm one of many, Bonnie's blue.
And when he cries, he cries alone for the telephone.
He prays for peace, he prays for hope for his immortal soul.
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't fix you, can't make you better.
And I can't do nothing about your change of strange weather.

[Chorus]
'Cause you are unfixable.
I can't break through your world.
'Cause you live in Shades of Cool.
Your heart is unbreakable.

[Bridge]
Your hot, hot weather in the summer.
High, unforgiven lover.
Hot, hot weather in the summer.
High, neglectful lover.
You're crumbling, suddenly.
You're suddenly, crumbling.

[Final Chorus/Chorus Variation]
(But) you are unfixable.
I can't break through your world.
You live in Shades of Cool.
I can't break through your world.
