My Baby Just Cares For Me
Indigo Swing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby don't care for shows
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for furs and laces
My baby don't care for high tone places
Liberace is not her style
And even Frank Sinatra's too much
Somethin' she just can't see
My baby just cares for me
My baby's no Crosby fan
Dick Tracy is not her man
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for that old Mr. Tibbetts
She'd rather have me
I'm gonna take her to the limit
Liberace is not her style
And even Frank Sinatra's too much
Somethin' she just can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for me
The lyrics to Indigo Swing's "My Baby Just Cares for Me" are about the singer's realization that his baby, or his significant other, doesn't necessarily care for material possessions or being in high society, but rather just cares for him. The repeated line "My baby just cares for me," emphasizes this sentiment throughout the song. The singer lists off various things that his baby doesn't care about, such as clothes, shows, furs and laces, high tone places, Liberace, and even Frank Sinatra. This shows that his baby isn't impressed by material possessions or celebrity status, and perhaps prefers a simpler, more genuine way of living.
The line "I wonder what's wrong with baby" at the end of the song suggests that the singer may have initially been confused or taken aback by his baby's lack of interest in those things, but ultimately realizes that it's what makes their connection real and meaningful. The song seems to celebrate genuine, non-materialistic love and companionship, and the fact that those things are what really matter in a relationship.

Samantha Ort Sorry,this is not the best version. The best version of My baby not cares for me was/is recorded in 1930 in a great/funny duet by Billy Murray and Walter Scanlan ( Walter Van Brunt)
Billy
No one recorded this song so great as Billy Murray and Walter Scanlan in 1930.Their version is so funny. Here I not feel this is a old song from 1930
