[Verse 1]
You said you'd like to make me dinner
And I think that's the sexiest thing anyone's ever offered
Tell me a date and time and I just might lose my mind
So is it true? You've got not just one job but two of them, oh
And is this independence, or all facade or genuine?
Is this just something you'll do, a trick you'll use to turn me on?
[Pre-Chorus]
No dummy to spit out
'Cause I'm not dating a little kid now
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm really loving not being a babysitter
Oh, I'm really loving not being a babysitter
Oh, I'm really loving not being a baby, baby
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
My hands won't move fast enough
When you tell me you'll be up with the sun, oh
You can't see me, too much to do, are you trying to turn me on?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, yeah, yeah
No dummy to spit out
'Cause I'm not dating a little kid now
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm really loving not being a babysitter
Oh, I'm really loving not being a babysitter
Oh, I'm really loving not being a baby, baby
[Bridge]
He'll stay head above water
And you'll take me deep diving under
His dad will keep him afloat
But I told him I quit, take me under the boats
Takes him three hours to do up his laces
You throw on your thongs, no time will be wasted
Thank fuck, someone who makes me feel young
Let's go back to yours, I'm so turned on
[Chorus]
I'm really loving not being a baby
Oh, I'm really loving not being a baby, no, no
I'm really loving not being a baby, baby
[Outro]
Three, four
So please, feel free to make me dinner

‘Babysitter’ is fuck you to the patriarchy. I wrote it during a time when I was newly single and dating casually. I found that I was overjoyed on dates by the smallest things – like having dinner made for me and not having to be the one to always make the plans or hold the conversation. Looking back...
