Old Blues by unknown writer and recording artist. Do you know who it was?

Tell me, baby. What's on your mind?
You don't do nothin' but keep me crying.
Thing about you babe, you can be so nice and sweet.
But you laugh and you grin with every man you meet.

What goes up, must come down.
Seen you last night, you was cruisin town.
Tell me, baby, what's on your mind?
And if you don't want me, please don't waste my time.

Told you once, ain't tellin' you no more.
If you don't want me, just tell me so.
I can't stand being dogged around.
Because you laugh and you grin with every man in town.

Dry your eyes, crying won't make me stay.
Aligator tears just drive me away.
I can't stand being dogged around.
Because you laugh and you grin with every man in town.

Thanks, Denbo, AGP and Pick.  I don't always really remember who did what, but I sure try to give credit when I can.  I can use heavy distortion to hide my mistakes?!?!?!   Gotta try that.

Nice 'UJ', looked all over Mr Google, and the only reference I could find to who wrote and recorded this song was an old Black & White clip by someone in Ogden Iowa by the name of SmilinJackB, like Andries said, claim it as your own & take a copyright out on it.  :-)

Using the Black & White format to hide the Wall Colors is akin to my using Heavy Distortion in my Vids to hide the mistakes & wrong notes :-D

Thanks, Dave!  

Thanks, Andries.   You did a good search.  Someone did the song in a similar manner.  I heard it on Pandora.

For every line in the song there is a performer that is a likely candidate, Kokomo Arnold has  got a fjew off your lines,The alan Parsons Project Voyager What goes up1978, Willie Williams & Carey Bell 1977 Tired beiing dogged around, Alvin Lee Tell me Baby whats on your Mind, So the end conclusion is Clame it your own and say that whit the David Bowie Songwriting formular you composed this drawn from your own Live memorie  of past times when things where not that Wonderfull ! but after a great move ,Are Back Again !!  Ill say as a Song Titel "TELL me Baby "cheers ! Thanks For the Education UJ Sleep tight dont let the you know Who !! GRRRR A.D.
