Baby I Don't Care
Queen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't like crazy music, you don't like rocking
You just want to go to a movie show, and sit their holding hands
You're so square, baby I don't care

I don't know why my heart blips, I only know it does
I only want to love you baby, I guess its just because
You're so square, baby I don't care
You don't know any dance steps, but I do-a-ho-ho
I only know why I love you like I do-a-do-a-do-a-do
You don't like crazy music, you don't like rocking
You just want to go to a movie show, and sit their holding hands




You're so square, baby I don't care
Baby I don't care, baby I don't care

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Queen's song "Baby I Don't Care" seem to be a message from the singer to their lover or potential lover. The first verse describes the lover's preference for calm and conventional activities such as going to see a movie and holding hands, rather than listening to "crazy music" or "rocking". However, the singer doesn't care about this, indicating that their love for their partner goes beyond musical preferences and societal norms.


The second verse further emphasizes the singer's devotion to their lover, even though they are somewhat perplexed by their own feelings. The lines "I don't know why my heart blips, I only know it does" suggest that the singer may not fully understand the reasons behind their affection, but they embrace it nonetheless. The chorus of the song repeats the sentiment that the lover's squareness, or conventional nature, doesn't matter to the singer.


Overall, the lyrics express a simple but powerful message of love and acceptance of one's partner despite differences in taste and personality. The song captures a sense of youthful rebellion against societal norms that were prevalent during the time it was written, and also offers a message of hope and acceptance in a world that values conformity.

their voices all harmonize so nicely. They’re all amazing

@mangeshmoghe8987

I still feel it’s a miracle that these four exceptionally talented people were to get together and created everlasting memories.

@meninatym435

Exactly! Graeham Goble (ex Little River Band) and the late David Crosby knew this in their respective bands. Sometimes a collection of singers just ‘blend’ to deliver that magical X Factor. Another good example was the bassist and the guitarist for Van Halen

Watching live performances like this, I can see why John Deacon couldn't go on performing without Freddie. Watch him when Freddie is singing, he's getting as much out of the performance as the rest of us. They were friends, and I think John just couldn't bear to stand on stage and look across to see someone else standing where one of his best mates should have been.

@Andy_Underwood...

The happiest I've ever seen John.. you can see how much he loved Freddie. Truly loving his life right there.

@nancyblumberg4612

So true about Deacy. I wish I would have seen that in at least one more concert. Bless his heart.

@Judy-eu1fv

So true...John did love Freddie and I loved the way Freddie protected John as he was only 19 when he first joined Queen. Such a precious relationship ❤🎶❤🎶

@gladlaxe

Yeah, it's great to see how he played the piano with the keyboardist at 6:05. These four men were extremely different, but brothers in music. Queen would never have been Queen without Deacon - or any of the others.

@thebaseplayerclara

yes! 0:56 and also 5:17 the base

@user-ql6it6hr2t

Восхитительно, гениально, неподражаемо! Фредди сохранится в сердцах людей навека! Лучшая в мре группа Queen!!!❤❤❤
