Jim, you're right.

To get back to the original song, the one that says:

My baby don't care for shows,
My baby don't care for clothes,
My baby just cares for me!

Isn't anybody else bothered by the total self-absorbtion of this silly song? The singer offers his baby nothing, admires nothing about her, just wants to be cared for. (Read: taken care of.) And not to spend any money on her.

It reminds me of the young wife in 'Citizen Kane' finally crying 'I get it! You don't love me. You just want ME to love YOU!'
