My Baby Just Cares For Me
Ann-Margret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 cars and races
My baby don't care for high tone places

Elizabeth Taylor is not his style
And even ??? smile
Is something he can't see
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me

I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
He just says his prayers for




My baby just cares
For me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ann-Margret's song "My Baby Just Cares For Me" convey the idea that the singer's significant other is not interested in superficial things like garments, vehicles, or extravagant events. These things are irrelevant to him, as he only cares about their relationship. The mention of Elizabeth Taylor highlights the idea that the man is not swayed by fancy, high-profile individuals, but instead stays focused on the love between him and his partner. Even the brightest of smiles do not distract him from his priority, which is loving his partner.


The final lines of the song consist of the singer wondering if there is anything wrong with her baby because he only seems to care about her. The lyrics suggest that perhaps the singer expects or desires something more, but the baby's simple devotion and love is enough for him. This creates a sense of appreciation for the baby's straightforward love rather than wanting more.
