You're So Square Baby I Don't Care
Joni Mitchell · Other Songs - Joni Mitchell
Baby, you're so square
Oh, you don't like greasy diners
You don't like sleazy 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
Darling I don't care
You don't know any dance steps
That are new
But nobody else can love me
The way 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
Baby I don't care
Oh, 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
I don't care
You're so square, you're so square
You're so square, you're so square
You're so square, you're so square
You're So Square Baby I Don't Care
