My Baby Just Cares for Me Lyrics

[HOLDEN]
My baby don't care for rings
Or other expensive things
My baby just cares for me

My baby don't go for big Rolls Royces
Sometimes I doubt about her choices

My baby don't care to own
Some 14-carat stone
She's sensible as can be
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me

[DJ]
He's so happy since the day
He fell in love in a great big way
And the big surprise is someone loves him too

[FEMALE CUSTOMERS]
It's difficult for us to see
Just what she could possibly see in he

[SALESMAN]
But it simply goes to prove what love can do!
[MALE CUSTOMERS]
His baby don't care for shows
His baby don't care for clothes

[HOLDEN]
My baby just cares for me

[MALE CUSTOMERS]
Nobody else will do!

[FEMALE CUSTOMERS]
His baby don't care for furs and laces
His baby don't care for goin' to the races
Or highbrow places

[HOLDEN]
My baby don't care for sports
Like runnin' round tennis courts
I must say I'm glad that she

[ENSEMBLE]
Has made such a fine selection
My baby just cares for me

(dance break)
[HOLDEN]
My baby just cares for me

[CUSTOMERS]
His baby just cares for

[HOLDEN]
My baby just cares for me

[ENSEMBLE]
His baby just
His baby just
His/my baby just cares for me!
