[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
