Well they took some honey from a tree,
Dressed it up and they called it me,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby now.
Well, half past nine, half past four,
Fifty women knocking on my door,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby now.
When out last night, I did stay late,
Oklahoma had a night scene date,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby now.

Dressed it up and they called it me,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby,
Everybody’s trying to be my baby now.
