Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for
he don't care for high-tone places
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
Just says his prayers for
My baby just cares for me

The first and third lines of the song establish that the love interest "don't care for shows" or "high-tone places," which suggests that they are uninterested in frivolous or extravagant displays of wealth or status.

What an amazing arrangement, performance and recording: it stands up solidly against the Jack Payne version.
And a brilliant transfer; though the thumps around 2:27 can be lessened with micro-editing; and 2 dB on the 125 and 250 Hz bands does bring Sam Browne more forward. But that's whinging - I wish I could do transfers and silent surfaces as well as you do - it's a great upload; thanks.

I can't understand anyone not liking this superb version of this famous song. I think some people just 'Thumbs-Down' for the hell of it, or maybe they think 'Punk-Rock' is the height of 'good music' !!!! lol.
