[mikemadmusic]

[jasonptify]

fanastic song, fantastic singer

[2mose2]

Y'all don't understand. This is the sheeit! The music is driving. The lyrics are outstanding. And Betty sang her ass off as usual. This shudda been a major hit like clean up woman. The song has stood the test of time n could be a remix hit today. You can't hear that base line n not wanna move. You can't hear them lyrics n not wanna laff. Vintage party music.

"So girls if you want your man

And no one else

Buy yourself some sizzle pants

And babysit your baby yourself"

ROFL Classic!

[MrDebink]

an underrated Betty track for sure

[JTBLACKMAN43]

I wish we had some babysitters today rock me to sleep.

[elkin76]

love betty! mizz Whistle! :-)

[irkbeat]

Betty is unique! Thanks.

[poetryselite]

Betty Wright is a LEGEND for her monumental material. On some real stuff, if all women would follow the advice rendered in her gems, it's just very well possible that MANY men who fall for the Delilahs wouldn't. Betty Wright's words are too real.

[Longnez]

It 's this music genre which helps me to move in the life, tks to tremendous singers and musicians of soul, they've dower !

[darealestn09]

[taviona11]

[laron214]

do you or anyone out there have "circle of heartbreak" by ms. betty?

[alaskandream1]

My mom laughed at me dancing my heart out singing with gusto. Long before I had a boyfriend or child. Thanks to this song I knew enough to send her out the door she walked in. It's funny how songs can make you remember so much. The good and the bad. I like the song.

[willgreen]

I just love the guitar at the intro, genius.

[rapreborn]

LLS @ 1:18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[klovewman]

I was so young when this song came out liked it then love it now that i know the meaning

[LowercaseBand]

I love it when Betty says "buy yourself some sizzle pants and sit your baby yourself !"

LOL - I guess sizzle pants were shorter than hot pants !!!

[cuzitsnecessary]

16... where was her momma so he could had went to jail

[themirrorsofmymind]

YES!

She actually sampled "Rock a bye baby"????

WTF?

"When my best friend said she had lost her man to her babysitter, I thought she was lying. I said "No 16 year old school girl could ever take a man of mine"...

This song cracks me up!

[danawadd]

Thanks for posting this. Does someone have "Let Me Be Your Lovemaker"?

[naturalgirl32]

Please post the song that was coming on after this one which is "Girls can't do what the guy do"

[coreyikyp]

This song came out when I was in the 7th grade. I loved it! One day, I carried the 45 and a portable record player to school. In class, the teacher was called out of the room over the intercom, and before she could get back, I was already on top of a classroom desk, dancing and singing to The Babysitter. When the teacher - Miss Kelly, walked into the room and caught me, she had a look of horror like "WHAT is this black boy doing and WHAT have I gotten myself into at this school".

[MusicalLyrica]

@coreyikyp That is funny. You were even wilder than we were in the 7th Grade. We left the record player at home

[MrSexxxy20]

This song reminds me on "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell & The Dells

[yonnie1984]

This is one of my all time favorites. If you want knowledge listen to Betty girls.

[MrSexxxy20]

Why does the look so depressed on that front covers that they are showing LOL

[kpitt1204]

I used to jack the words of this song so badly! "This 16 year old kid "baldine"...I thought she was calling the babysitter a baldheaded chick. I had no clue what this song was about. She is singing it for blood though!

[love112489]

LMAO!! HAHA

[kirahna]

@kpitt1204 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... too funny! I would too.. get the lyrics all messed up. She was a man getter! That I heard! LOL!

[kpitt1204]

@kirahna Have to laugh at myself two years later, I am still signing it with the wrong lyrics. I had them wrong for so long I keep forgetting.

[kirahna]

@kpitt1204 hahahaha.... too funny! I'm still laughing, because I could just see myself singing it the same way you did. Great memories though! LOL!

[kirahna]

@kpitt1204 when my bestfriend said, she had lost her man to her babysitter, I thought she was lying. I said, no 16 yr old school girl would ever take a man of mine. (Isn't that how it is nowadays? Nothing has changed much!})LOL! Staying home with my baby all the time, it kept me kinda broken hearted, so I went and hired myself a babysitter and that's when my trouble all started. This 16 yr old chick walked in with a skirt up to her waist, she had a truckload of you know what... LMAO!

[travler22]

@kpitt1204 I've been listening to this song since the '70's ... just to help it make sense to you, Betty says "this 16 year old chick WALKED IN with her skirt up to her waist ..."

[pchafe66]

[love112489]
