My Baby Just Cares For Me
Jools Holland 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

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
is somethin' he can't see

My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me

My baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
My baby just cares for me

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

I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for




Just says his prayers for
My baby just cares for me

She should totally make an album in this style. Love it. Her voice is amazing

minimandy7

I wouldn't mind hearing a jazz album by her in the future after watching this... it would go nicely with all the other amazing music she's made.

sean

minimandy7 look up plans by ashok its a band she was a member of before forming Florence + the Machine

Kenneth Ramìrez

I've been listening this since 2011 and I never get tired of it! Jazz and Florence Welch! what else can we ask?

Ged Brough

brilliiant....she sings so softly then belts it out with real power

Iona

Wow! She's so elegant and classy! This is a fantastic and snazzy cover!

KierantheKoala007

What a cover, what a sweetheart, what a voice, you just gotta love Florence :)

flashingathena

You know when a performer can experiment and try other genres and succeed at them (and live too!) that they have real talent. I love this girl! And she is a true beauty! I hope she keeps growing as an artist and ignores the hype that somehow succeeds in making so many young artists regress to (a tormented) adolescence.

aberazzi

I really do wish Florence would make an album like this... even bring Jools to play the keys on a few of them.

Jake Barnes

Wow. Florence can just casually sing ANY song at all and make it sound phenomenal! I <3 U Florence! :)
