From the recording Songs From My Dad's Old Guitar
My Baby’s Only Got Eyes For Me
I was talking to my daughter about imposter syndrome and some of my feelings of not being worthy
of my wife’s affection. This song came out the next day and I played it for my daughter first. She said
I pretty much nailed exactly what I was trying to get across.
Even though this whole project sprung from the idea of using only my Dad’s old guitar for all the
sounds this track really felt like the guitar wanted company. I thought the clarinet would be stunning
and came up with the further idea of a trumpet as well. Huge thanks to Cedric Blary, clarinet and
Andre Wickenheiser on the trumpet.

Lyrics
My Baby’s Only Got Eyes For Me Matt Beatty
My girl’s got money, she makes it herself
Every drink she buys is always top shelf
She don't need you to give her one for free
She's got style and she's got grace
She could choose anyone in this place
But my baby's only got eyes for me
Everyone knows she could do a lot better
Every time she's out she gets a new love letter
But somehow she see something in me
A work of art when she's walking on by
Makes a lot of other men give up and cry
Cause my baby's only got eyes for me.
(SOLO)
Everyone knows that I'm outta my league
Every time We're out they just can't believe
That a woman like her could see something in me
Believes in me and that makes me do more
To prove that I'm the man she's looking for
My baby's only got eyes for me.
(SOLO)
We keep each other happy and that's the final word.
I only got eyes for her
And my baby's only got eyes for me.
My baby's only got eyes for me.
