Baby I Don't Care
Green Cee lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't like crazy music.
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 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.

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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Green Cee Lo's song, "Baby I Don't Care," speak of a romantic relationship where the singer's partner is not necessarily into the same things as him. The song mentions that she doesn't appreciate crazy music or rocking bands but just wants to go to a movie and hold hands. The singer essentially says that she's "so square" but he doesn't care because he loves her anyway. Although he doesn't understand why he loves her, he knows that his heart flips for her and that's all that matters.


The lyrics highlight a common theme in relationships where two people can have different interests and passions, but love each other regardless. The song paints a picture of a more innocent time where simply holding hands at a movie show was enough to make a relationship special. The idea that the singer doesn't understand why he loves his partner could also indicate that love is mysterious and complex.


In a broader sense, "Baby I Don't Care" can also be seen as a commentary on societal norms and expectations. The singer's partner is described as "so square," which implies that she doesn't fit into the typical mold of a rebellious teenager. The song celebrates those who are "different" and suggests that conforming to societal norms or expectations isn't necessary when it comes to love.
