Song Meaning of “Everybody’s Tryin’ To Be My Baby” by Carl Perkins
“Everybody’s Tryin’ To Be My Baby” by Carl Perkins is about the difficulties of being desired by different people, especially in relationships. The song talks about how the narrator is constantly surrounded by suitors that are all trying to win his love. With each one coming and going, it’s hard for him to commit to one person, as he can never be sure if that person will remain faithful or not. He also expresses his frustration at the fact that everyone wants to be with him so much, but it’s making it hard for him to find the right partner. The chorus acknowledges how the narrator realizes his own appeal and how he can’t understand why everyone else can’t understand this too. The song is a warning of how too much attention can be overwhelming, and how it can be dangerous if one person is too attractive to multiple suitors. Although it can be difficult to choose the right person in this situation, the narrator is hopeful that with time, he will find the one who is right for him.
