Go Back

(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care

Words & Music by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller

Lyrics:

You're so square baby
You're so square

Oh you don't like greasy diners
You don't like sleezy bands
You just want to go
To a movie show
And sit there holding hands
You're so square
Baby I don't care

You don't like going to parties
To toot and talk all night long
You just want to park
Where it's nice and dark
And kiss me, sweet and strong
You're so square
Baby, I don't care

You don't know any dance steps
That are new
But nobody else could love me
Like you do

I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why
I love you baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
Darlin' I don't care
