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
Woke up last night, 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
Went out last night I didn’t stay late
‘fore I got home I had nineteen dates
Everybody’s trying to be my baby
Everybody’s trying to be my baby
Everybody’s trying to be my baby now
Went out last night I didn’t stay late
‘fore I got home I had nineteen dates
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
Everybody’s trying to be my baby
Everybody’s trying to be my baby
Everybody’s trying to be my baby now
