Shades of Cool

Written by Lana Del Rey

My baby lives in shades of blue1

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 his strange weather2

But you are, are unfixable3

I can't break through your world

'Cause you live in shades of cool

Your heart is unbreakable

My baby lives in shades of cool4

Cool heart and hands and aptitude

He lives for love, for women, too

I'm one of many, one is blue

And when he calls

He calls for me and not for you

He prays for love, he prays for peace

And maybe someone new

But I can't help him, can't make him better

And I can't do nothing about his strange weather

'Cause you are, are unfixable

I can't break through your world

'Cause you live in shades of cool

Your heart is unbreakable

[instrumental]

You are unfixable

I can't break through your world

'Cause you live in shades of cool

Your heart is unbreakable
