[Verse 1]
Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
[Verse 2]
Woke up last night, half past four
Fifty women knocking on my door
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
[Verse 3]
Went out last night, I didn't stay late
Before I got home I had nineteen dates
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
[Verse 4/3]
Went out last night, I didn't stay late
Before I got home I had nineteen dates
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
[Verse 5/1]
Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
[Verse 2]
Woke up last night, half past four
Fifty women knocking on my door
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
[Verse 3]
Went out last night, I didn't stay late
Before I got home I had nineteen dates
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
[Verse 4/3]
Went out last night, I didn't stay late
Before I got home I had nineteen dates
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
[Verse 5/1]
Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me
[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
