Baby I Don't Care

(Leiber & Stoller)

Information:
Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller wrote (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care for Elvis's 1957 movie, Jailhouse Rock. The instrumental track was recorded on April 30, 1957, at Radio Recorders. Elvis's vocal was recorded sometime in May at MGM. Although the session notes indicate that Dudley Brooks played piano, Mike Stoller has said that he played on the recording. In late 1957 Buddy Holly recorded (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care for his album Buddy Holly (Coral 57210).

Lyrics:

You don't like crazy music, you don't like rockin' bands

You just wanna go to a movie show and sit there holdin' hands

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

You don't like hotrod racin' or drivin' late at night

You just wanna park where it's nice and dark, you just wanna hold me tight

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

You don't know any dance steps that are new

But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do

1. I don't know why my heart flips, I only know it does

I don't know why I love you, baby, I guess it's just because

You're so square, bby, I don't care

1. (repeat)

Baby, I don't care

Baby, I don't care
