Hi there,

could anyone help me with artist/titles/labels/current values of the following lyrics?

"when you work in the fields, well you just gotta follow the sun......."

"well don't give all your love, to just one woman, 'cos if you do you know you're gonna get put down, and you'll be picking up broken eggs up off the ground"!

"you say that i remind you, of the one you left behind you, if i can't be something new, well i guess i just wont do, baby"

"i...i want....i want you..........i want you to...........i want you to please! want you to be my baby"!

"treat me, treat me,treat me.....treat me like a man now"!

thanks,

"I Want You To Be My Baby" Billie Davis (UK Decca) £5

Originally recorded by Ellie Greenwich*, but don't know anything about 45 releases for this.

* = no it wasn't! See my next post below.............

Edited by Gene-R

The second one is The All Night Workers (rumoured to feature Lou Reed) with Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket.

The last one is Trick me Treat me by Cobblestone.

Thanks Gene and Pete.......appreciated!!! ranting_1.gif
