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

Went out last night, I didn't stay late
'fore I got home I had nineteen dates

Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby
Released on the Beatles' 1964 album *Beatles for Sale*, this track stands as a rare example of the group's early rock and roll experimentation. The song features a distinctive, repetitive guitar riff that drives its upbeat tempo, showcasing the band's ability to blend traditional pop structures with emerging psychedelic influences. While often overshadowed by their later hits, the recording captures the raw energy of the Liverpool scene and the group's evolving songwriting dynamics during their first year together. It remains a significant song in their early discography, reflecting the transitional period between their raw garage rock roots and the polished sound that would define their global success.
