"Baby What You Want Me to Do" (sometimes called "You Got Me Running" or "You Got Me Runnin'") is a blues song that was written and recorded by Jimmy Reed in 1959.

"Baby What You Want Me to Do" is a mid-tempo blues shuffle in the key of E[1] that features "[Jimmy] Reed's unique, lazy loping style of vocals, guitar and harmonica.

"[2] In a 1959 review by Billboard magazine, it was called "uninhibited and swampy ... deliver[ed] freely in classic, gutbucket fashion.

"[4] However, unlike a typical twelve-bar blues, it includes chord substitutions in bars nine and ten:[1] Backing Reed are his wife Mary "Mama" Reed on harmony vocal, Eddie Taylor and Lefty Bates on guitars, Marcus Johnson on bass, and Earl Phillips on drums.

[5] Koda commented: "Baby What You Want Me to Do" "was already a barroom staple of blues, country, and rock & roll bands by the early '60s".
