Everybody Loves Me
Song by Don McLean

Overview
Lyrics

… One, two, three, four

… 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 every tread
My enemies are sick or dead
But all the victories I've led
Haven't brought you to my bed

… 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 every coin engraved
The anarchists are all enslaved
My own flag is forever waved
By the grateful people I have saved

… 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?

… 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?
