Lyrics
I don’t need a whole lots of money
I don’t need a big fine car
I got everything that a man could want
I got more than I could ask for
And I don’t have to run around
I don’t have to stay out all night
‘Cause I got me a sweet, a sweet loving woman
And she know just how to treat me right
But my baby, she’s alright
Oh, my baby’s clean out of sight
Don’t you know that she’s-
She’s some kind of wonderful?
She’s some kind of wonderful (yes, she is, she is)
She’s some kind of wonderful (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When I hold her in my arms
You know she sets my soul on fire
Ooh, when my baby kisses me
My heart becomes filled with desire
When she wraps her loving arms around me
It ’bout drives me out of my mind
Yeah, when my baby kisses me
Chills run up and down my spine
But my baby, she’s alright
Oh, my baby’s clean out of sight
Don’t you know that she is-
She’s some kind of wonderful?
She’s some kind of wonderful (yes, she is)
She’s some kind of wonderful (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now is there anybody
Got a sweet little woman like mine?
There’s got to be somebody
Got a, got a sweet little woman like mine
Yeah, now can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Oh, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I’m talking, talking ’bout my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
Talking ’bout my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
Talking ’bout my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
Talking ’bout my baby, my baby, my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
Talking about my baby, my baby, my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my baby, my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
Talking ’bout my baby, my baby, my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
Man, I’m talking ’bout my baby, my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
Talking ’bout my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
My baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
About my baby, my baby (she’s some kind of wonderful)
