Fortune has me well in hand, armies 'wait at my command
My gold lies in a foreign land buried deep beneath the sand
The angels guide my ev'ry 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?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?
Now the purest race I've bred for thee 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 land 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?
tell me what did I do to offend you? <whoo, 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?

Review about Everybody Loves Me Baby mclean - dylan | Reviewer: teez | 9/10/2007
i agree with user king about the dylanesqueness (haha, what a word), i didn´t know many bob dylan songs before i listened to don´s "pie" album at the age of something like 10. after getting to know dylan now i must agree with you, anyway a great song!!
Anybody no matter how downtrodden can have a self esteem boost by listening to this song for a while. Especially just after getting up and just before bed.

Don, who wrote this song, reflects this song. Quite a man, growing up in Warren Michigan. His only child, Mark, and I were roomates in college. We sung this song karoke in 1992 at a little bar in Nango Japan.
Is this review helpful to you? YesNo Really great | Reviewer: King | 7/16/2007
The verse/chorus order is unorthodox and the lyrics are great -- not a dead word. There's a certain Dylanesque air around the tongue-in-cheek lyrics and the not-so-perfect pitch. And it's danceable! All in all, awesome!
This song has an errily prophetic quality when we consider it in light of the political course of the US in the last 6 years. I think it could be subtitled, George W. Bush's theme song.
