Gee, baby, ain't I good to you?
Nothing in this world too good for a girl so good and true
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you?
I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring, yes, I did
And a big Cadillac car, and everything
What makes me treat you the way that I do
It must be love, baby
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you?
I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring
And a great big Eldorado and everything
It must be love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you?
