Verse:

C            F7
I'm so happy since the day
  C                 F7
I fell in love in a great big way
        C
And the big surprise is
D7      G7        C   EbdimDm7G7
Someone  loves me too.

C                   F7
Guess it's hard for you to see
          C          F7
Just what anyone can see in me
       D7
But it simply goes to prove
              G7Gb7G7
What love can do

Chorus 1:

C  Cmaj7C6    Cmaj7C   Cmaj7
My baby don't care for shows
C  Cmaj7C6    Cmaj7C   Cmaj7
My baby don't care for clothes
C  Cmaj7C6   Em7   EbdimDm7G7
My baby just cares for me

Dm7           E7       Am
My baby don't care for furs and laces
   D7         Bdim D7  G7         G7+   G7
My baby don't care for high toned place-

C  Cmaj7C6    Cmaj7C   Cmaj7
My baby don't care for rings
C  Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7C    Cmaj7
Or other ex-pen-sive things
Edim              A7  Dm7A7Dm7
She's sensible as can be

F             B7       Em7   A7
My baby don't care who knows it
Dm7          G7        C EbdimDm7G7
My baby just cares for me

Chorus 2:

C  Cmaj7  C6 Cmaj7C    Cmaj7
My baby's no Gil-bert fan
C   Cmaj7  C6 Cmaj7C   Cmaj7
Ron Colman is not her man
C  Cmaj7C6   Em7   EbdimDm7G7
My baby just cares for me

Dm7           E7       Am
My baby don't care for Lawrence Tibbitts
D7                Bdim G7       G7+ G7
She'd rather have me a-round to kib-bitz

C   Cmaj7   C6 Cmaj7C   Cmaj7
Bud Rodgers is not her style
C   Cmaj7C6   Cmaj7C     Cmaj7
And even Chev-al-ier’s smile
Edim              A7        Dm7A7Dm7
Is something that she can't see

F               B7        Em7A7
I wonder what's wrong with ba-by
Dm7          G7        C EbdimDm7G7C6
My baby just cares for me
