Everybody's Trying to be My Baby Lyrics



Perkins


Well they took some honey from the 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,
Wicked woman knocking at my door.

Went out last night, I didn't stay late,
Called her home, had a nice teen date.

Carl Perkins was the first to record this. The Beatles also covered Perkins' "Matchbox" and "Honey Don't."
George Harrison sang lead. It was his showcase song on early tours.
This was the last Beatles album to which George Harrison did not offer any lyrical contribution. After Beatles For Sale, he became more prominent as a songwriter in the group - he wrote 2 songs for Help and 2 for Rubber Soul. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)
