Internationally, Green is best known for his soul work: his most popular was Gnarls Barkley's 2006 worldwide hit "Crazy", which reached number one in various singles charts worldwide, including the UK. In the United States, "Crazy" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Its parent album St. Elsewhere, was also a hit, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and number four on the US Billboard 200 albums chart. Gnarls Barkley's second album, The Odd Couple (2008), charted at number 12 on the Billboard 200.
In 2010, Green took a break from working with Gnarls Barkley and released the single "Fuck You!" on August 19 as a solo artist. The song was a hit, with the radio-edit version "Forget You" reaching the top spot in the UK and the Netherlands and charting at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its parent album, The Lady Killer (2010), saw similar success, peaking within the top five of the UK Albums Chart and debuting within the top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and receiving a Gold certification from the BPI in the UK. His next two single, "It's OK" and "Bright Lights Bigger City" were also hits in Europe.
Baby I Don't Care
CeeLo Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't like rockin' bands.
You just wanna go to a movie show,
And sit there holdin' hands.
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.
I don't know why my heart flips.
I wonder why I love you, baby.
I guess it's just because
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.
You don't know any dance steps but I do,
You open the with "I love you baby" but I do, do, do, do.
I don't know why my heart flips.
I only know it does.
I wonder why I love you, baby.
I guess it's just because
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.
I don't know why my heart flips.
I only know it does.
I wonder why I love you, baby.
I guess it's just because
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.
In CeeLo Green's song "Baby I Don't Care," the singer is expressing their love for someone who may not necessarily be into the same things as them. The first two lines of the song, "You don't like crazy music. You don't like rockin' bands" highlight this fact, as the person they are singing to does not share in their musical taste. Instead, this person prefers to go to movies and hold hands while watching.
Despite their differences, the singer is completely smitten with this person. The chorus repeats the phrase "You're so square. Baby, I don't care" which seems to say that the person's seemingly uninteresting preferences do not matter to them. In fact, it may even be part of why they love them. The second verse adds some additional playful criticism, implying that this person does not know how to dance or start conversations, but the singer still loves them anyway.
Overall, the song is a light and fun expression of love for someone who may not share in all of your interests, but you love them regardless. It shows that sometimes it's the little quirks and differences that make a person endearing.
