Hey!
Chorus:
Bb Ab/Bb
Nothing's too good for my baby
Bb Ab/Bb
Nothing's too good for my girl
Bb Ab/Bb
Nothing's too good for my baby
Bb Ab/Bb
Oh, no
(Nothing's too good for my girl)
Verse 1:
Bb Ab
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
Bb Ab
'Cause I've got one pearl of a girl
Bb Ab
For my baby I work part-time
Bb Ab
Down at the neighborhood five-and-dime
Bb Ab
Half of my money goes to buy her
Bb Ab
Some of the things her little heart desires
Bb Ab
The other half goes dime by dime
Bb Ab
To show my cookie a real good time, because
[repeat chorus]
Bridge 1:
Cm
She's sweet and she's kind
Bb
And she tells me that she's mine all mine, now
Db
Ain't that lovin', ain't that livin'
F Eb/F
Ain't that half the fun of givin'
[repeat chorus]
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
[repeat chorus]
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:
Bb Ab/Bb
Nothing's too good for my baby
Bb Ab/Bb
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]
