My Baby Just Cares For Me was written in 1930 by Walter Donaldson, with lyrics by Gus Kahn. The song was written for the movie version of the 1928 hit musical comedy Whoopie, where it is performed by Eddie Cantor. In 1931, Cantor was featured in the Max Fleischer Screen Songs cartoon My Baby Just Cares For Me. The song would become Cantor's signature song. Nina Simone recorded the song on her 1958 debut album Little Girl Blue. The song wasn't a hit for Simone until 1987, after it was re-released with a claymation music video.

MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME
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
My baby just cares for me
Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
Baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me
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
My baby just cares for me
Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
Baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me
