Jimmy Witherspoon & Jay McShann Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
There's nothing in the world
Too good for a girl that's good and true
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
Bought you a fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring
A big Cadillac car

And everything
It's love that makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you

What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
There's nothing in the world
Too good for a guy that's good and true
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
Fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring
A big Cadillac car
And everything
There's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
There's nothing in the world
Too good for a girl that's good and true
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
Fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring
Big Cadillac car
and everything
It's love that makes me treat you the way that I do

Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
