verse
My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California too
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
verse
My baby lives in shades of cool
Cold heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women too
I'm one of many, Bonnie's 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
bridge
Your hot, hot weather in the summer
High, high, neglectful lover
Hot, hot weather in the summer
