[Verse 1]

When my best friend said she had lost her man

To her babysitter I thought she was lying

I said no sixteen-year-old schoolgirl

Could ever take a man of mine

Staying home with our baby all the time

It kept me kind of brokenhearted

So I went and hired myself a babysitter

And that's when my trouble all started

[Pre-Chorus]

This sixteen-year-old chick walked in

With a skirt up to her waist

She had a truckload of you know what

And all of it in place

[Chorus]

I should have been aware

Mhm, ooh, ooh, of the babysitter

Oh, yeah, yeah

I should have known from the jump, yeah

She was a man-getter, mhm

I should have been aware, uh-huh

Of the babysitter, aah-ha

I should have known from the jump, yeah

She was a man-getter, yes, she was

[Bridge]

When I found out exactly what was going on

There wasn't much that I could do

The babysitter had his heart and soul

And all of his money, too

[Chorus]

You know, I should have been aware, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, of the babysitter, hoo-hoo

I should have known from the jump, yeah

She was a man-getter, yes, she was

[Spoken Interlude]

So, girls, if you want your man

And no one else

Buy yourself some sizzle pants

And babysit your baby yourself

[Outro]

Beware, girls

You better beware

Of the babysitter, mhm, yeah

Rock, rock, rock your baby

Rock, rock, rock your baby

Rock, rock, rock your baby
