Introduction:

“Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me” is a 1972 hit song by American country and pop singer-songwriter Mac Davis. It was the title track of his breakthrough album and reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts in September 1972, spending three weeks atop each chart.

The song is known for its catchy melody and Davis’s distinctive vocals. Its lyrics, however, are somewhat ironic, with the narrator seemingly trying to seduce the listener while simultaneously warning them against falling for him. This playful and somewhat self-deprecating tone contributed significantly to the song’s popularity.

“Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me” remains a classic of 1970s pop music and continues to be enjoyed by audiences today.
