Lyrics
I’m so happy since the day
I fell in love in a great big way
And the big surprise is someone loves me, too
Guess it’s hard for you to see
Just what anyone can see in me
But it simply goes to prove what love can do
Chorus
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
Chorus
My baby’s no Gilbert fan,
Ron Coleman is not her man
My baby just cares for me
My baby don’t care for Laurence Tibbits
She’d rather have me around to kibbitz
Bud Rogers is not her style
And even Chevalier’s smile
Is something that she can’t see
I wonder what’s wrong with baby
My baby just cares for me
