My Baby Don't Tolerate is an album recorded by Lyle Lovett and released in 2003.

On Tolerate, Lovett favors his country side a bit more than his many other facets. While long-time fans were reportedly disappointed with the album's pop-flavored opening track "Cute as a Bug", many of the other songs demonstrated his strengths as a storyteller. Oddly, the album ends with two gospel songs with remarkably similar names, which some critics decried as an overly precious attempt at enforced quirkiness. Nonetheless, Tolerate garnered very positive responses and respectable sales figures.
