My Baby Just Cares For Me
Milman Sophie 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

Ooh, my baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for those high toned places
Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
It's something that 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 even 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 he don't care for high toned places
Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
It's something, something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with my baby




'Cause my baby just cares for, my baby just cares
My baby just cares for me

I'd pay so much extra to see her perform live. She's great!

Larry Land

What a wonderful talent. The first time I ever heard one of her songs I had to learn more about her.

Margaret Humphreys

Great version of this song!  I really like how she plays and interprets on the the second go around.  

Frank Davino

She swing and the band too... can't ask for more !

Mauricio Castillo Rodriguez

Amazing voice and style! Bravo!

Devon Dandy

Good jazz singer, good control and phrasing. Good also to hear her backed by a big band sound, so much more variety of sound that two guitars, a drums and someone wailing which passes as popular music now.

jeffshira

She is really performing well. And I love this tenor sax as well! Does somebody knows the name of sax player?

Gerry Smith

Pat Labarbera played it on the album, but I don't think this is him.

David Reidenberg

Love the shuffle beat.
