Martina McBride – My Baby Loves Me Lyrics

Don’t need no copy of Vogue magazine
Don’t need to dress like no beauty queen
High heels or sneakers he don’t give a damn
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

He never tells me I’m not good enough
Just give me unconditional love
He loves me tender and he loves me mad
He loves me silly and he loves me sad

He thinks I’m pretty, he thinks I’m smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He’s always sayin’ he’s my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

When there’s dark clouds in my eyes
He just sits back and lets ‘em roll on by
I come in like a lion and go out like a lamb
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

He thinks I’m pretty, he thinks I’m smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He’s always sayin’ he’s my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
He thinks I’m pretty, he thinks I’m smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
Don’t see no reason to change my plan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
