Well they took some honey from a tree
They dressed it up and they called it me

Now everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

I went out last night 'bout half past four
Fifty women knocking on my door

And everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

I went out last night, and I didn't stay late
'fore I'm home I had nineteen dates

And everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

Me and my gal sittin' in the shade
talk 'bout the money that she has made

And everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now get down

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
