Hey!

Nothing's too good for my baby

Nothing's too good for my girl

Nothing's too good for my baby

Oh, no

(Nothing's too good for my girl)

Verse 1:

I'm the luckiest guy in the world

'Cause I've got one pearl of a girl

For my baby I work part-time

Down at the neighborhood five-and-dime

Half of my money goes to buy her

Some of the things her little heart desires

The other half goes dime by dime

To show my cookie a real good time, because

Bridge 1:

She's sweet and she's kind

And she tells me that she's mine all mine, now

Ain't that lovin', ain't that livin'

Ain't that half the fun of givin'

Verse 2:

I walk around with my chest stuck out

'Cause my baby's worth bragging about

Every Johnnie, Jack, and Jim

Wished that she belonged to him

I gave up the old gang of mine

'Cause with my girl goes all my time

One of these days I'm gonna buy her a ring

And marry her - and everything, because

Bridge 2:

She's sweet and she's mellow

And she tells me that I'm one heck of a fellow, now

Ain't that lovin', ain't that livin'

Ain't that half the fun of givin'

Coda:

Nothing's too good for my baby

Nothing's too good for my girl

[background voices continue]

She's all right and out of sight

And I love her ah-ha-ha, yeah ah-ah-ha-ha-ha ha

Ah-ha-ha yeah, I'm gonna get her a diamond ring, everything [fade]
