"Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me" was a hit song by country and
pop singer-songwriter Mac Davis. Coming from his breakthrough
album of the same name, the song reached No. 1 on the Billboard
Hot 100 in September 1972, spending three weeks atop that
chart. He wrote the song when the record company demanded he
write a tune with a "hook".
The song was also a modest country hit concurrent with its
pop success, reaching No. 26 shortly after the peak of its pop
success.
