Don McLean - Everybody Loves Me, Baby

[Intro]
One! Two! Three! Four!

[Verse 1]
Fortune has me well in hand
Armies wait at my command
My gold lies in a foreign land
Buried deep beneath the sand

[Verse 2]
The angels guide my every tread
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?
Wontcha tell me what did I do to offend you?

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And my face on every 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?
Wontcha tell me what did I do to offend you?

[Verse 5]
Now, no land 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

[Verse 6]
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

[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
'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

[Chorus]
Because everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Tell me, what did I do to offend you? Woo! 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 you?
Tell me what did I do to offend you?
