Lyrics
He doesn't mean a thing to me
He doesn't mean a thing to me
Just another pretty face to see
He's all over town
Knocking 'em down, honey
And I'd never let him next to me
He doesn't mean a thing to me


Well, he's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart
He's the type that always looks the part
He's so on the make, and so on the take, honey
And I'd never let him touch my heart
He doesn't mean a thing to me


He didn't mean to catch my eye
Well, he's lucky, he just walked on by
'Cause he hasn't met a girl like me
Are you kidding?
Well, I'd tell him that I'd rather die
He doesn't mean a thing to me
