Everybody Loves Me Baby Lyrics

Everybody Loves Me Baby
Don McLean

From his "American Pie" LP
This
song was not released as a single

: One, two, three,
four!

Fortune has me well in hand, armies 'wait my command
My gold
lies in a foreign land buried deep beneath the sand
The angels guide my
ev'ry prayer, my enemies are sick or dead
But all the victories I've led
haven't brought you to my bed

CHORUS:
You see, everybody loves me,
baby, what's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend
you?

Now the purest race I've bred to be to live in my democracy
And
the highest human pedigree awaits the first-born boy baby
And my face on
ev'ry coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved
My own flag is forever
waved by the grateful people I have saved

CHORUS:
You see, everybody
loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do
to offend you?

Now, no man is beyond my claim when 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 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, c'mon and treat me like you should!

Because everybody loves
me, baby, what's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do to
offend you? 

Everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter
with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?

Yeah,
everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what
did I do to offend you?
