[Intro]
Hey
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 2]
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'
[Chorus]
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 3]
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 a ring
And marry her and everything, 'cause
[Chorus]
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 4]
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'
[Outro]
Nothing's too good for my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl
(Nothing's too good for my baby)
She's all right and out of sight
And I love her ah-ha-ha, yeah ah-ah-ha-ha-ha ha
(Nothing's too good for my girl)
Ah-ha-ha yeah, I'm gonna get her a diamond ring, everything
Hey
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 2]
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'
[Chorus]
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 3]

(Nothing's too good for my girl)
Ah-ha-ha yeah, I'm gonna get her a diamond ring, everything
