Everybody Loves Me Baby

Don McLean · Other Songs - Don McLean

One, two, three, four!



Fortune has me well in hand, armies wait at my command

My gold lies in a foreign land, buried deep beneath the sand

The angels guide my every tread, my enemies are sick or dead,

But all the victories I've lead, haven't brought you to my bed



You see, everybody loves me baby,

What's the matter with you?

Won't you tell me what did I do to offend you?



Now the purest race I've bred for thee to live in my democracy

And the highest human pedigree awaits your first-born boy, baby

And my face on every coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved

My own flag is forever waved by grateful people I have saved.



You see, everybody loves me, baby

What's the matter with you

Won't you tell me what did I do to offend you



Now, no man is beyond my claim

When the land is seized in the people's name by

Evil men who rob and maim. If war is hell, I'm not to blame!



Why, you can't blame me, I'm the heaven's child

I'm the second son of Mary Mild

And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde

But he didn't mind, why he just smiled



Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through

And the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue

I'm held in very great value by everyone I meet

But you



'Cause I've used my talents as I could,

I've done some bad, I've done some good

I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so

Come on and treat me like you should



Because everybody loves me baby,

What's the matter with you?

Tell me, what did I do to offend you?



Woh, yeah, everybody loves me, baby,

What's the matter with you?

Tell me, what did I do to offend you?



Yeah, everybody loves me, baby,

What's the matter with ypu?

Tell me, what did I do to offend you?
