My baby don't care for shows, my baby don't care for clothes, |
|
My baby just cares for me. |
|
My baby don't care for furs and laces, |
|
My baby don't care for high-toned places, |
|
My baby don't care for rings or other expensive things, |
|
She's sensible as can be. |
|
My baby don't care who knows it, |
|
My baby just cares for me. |
|
(instrumental interlude) |
|
My baby's no crosby fan, dick tracy is not her man, |
|
My baby just cares for me. |
|
My baby don't care for mr. tibbits, |
|
She'd rather have me around to kibbitz. |
|
Roy rogers is not her style, and even clark gable's smile |
|
Is something that she can't see. |
|
(oh, you lucky so-and-so) |
|
I wonder what's wrong with baby, |
|
My baby just cares for me. |
