	Denny Laine makes it painfully clear that he shouldn't be a lead singer in a band with Paul McCartney in it. His opening lines are a disaster. When Paul is joining Denny on the chorus, the song gets an immediate uplift.	Bobber	April 11, 2012
	The dualing vocals of McCartney/Laine provided for some very fine moments ("Junior's Farm", "Deliver the Children" and "Spin it Out" are but three examples) and this song is one of their best pairings.	Bruce Beatlefan	June 2, 2006

Lyrics

You're my baby and I love you
You can take a pound of love
And cook it in the stew ...

When you've finished doing that
I know what you'll want to do
'Cos you're my baby and I love you

I'm your baby -- do you love me?
I can drive a cadillac
Across the irish sea
But when I've finished doing that
I know where I'll want to be
'Cos I'm your baby, and you love me.

Spirits of ancient egypt
Shadows of ancient rome
Spirits of ancient egypt
Hung on the telly
Hung on the telly
Hung on the telephone ...

You're my baby, I know you know
You could sell an elevator
To geronimo
And when you've finished doing that
I know where you'll want to go
'Cos you're my baby, I know you know

Spirits of ancient egypt
Echoes of sunken spain
Spirits of ancient egypt
Hung on the 'phone
A-hung on the 'phone
A-hung on the 'phone
Again
