Everybody, everybody starts talking
When at night my baby goes walking
Everywhere I go I gotta keep my eyes on her
Better look away or buddy you're a gonna
Everybody wants my baby
Everybody wants my baby
Now it ain't that she's the finest little girl around
Theres a lot of other pretty girls here in town
Theres just something about her I can't tell it
But if I knew what it was I'd bottle it and sell it
Everybody wants my baby
Everybody wants my baby
Just one thing ....her old man tells everybody...talk
Just one glance and everybody rip their hearts out
Sure what I got keeps everybody look sharp
Fighting in the alley or rumble out in the dark
Everybody wants my baby
Everybody wants my baby
Everybody wants my baby
Now what I wanna do
???
I gotta stay awake and watch now when she's sleeping
I don't know I gotta chance it
???
Everybody wants my baby
Everybody wants my baby
I'd give her all my money I'd give her my best shirt
"Thank you honey" and she'd pull right off and she'd flirt
I'd don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta make her ??? keep from thinking of you
Everybody wants my baby
Everybody wants my baby
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
