I'm looking for the title and artist for a song of the sixties that
contains the words, "what are you trying to do to my heart" Parts of
the song played last night, March 21st on American Dreams on NBC-TV

The name of the song is "You Better Run." This song was popularized by
The Rascals (also known as The Young Rascals) in the '60s, and became
a big hit for Pat Benatar in the '80s. "You Better Run" has also been
recorded by The The 'N Betweens (later known as Slade) and by Robert
Plant, of Led Zeppelin.

The song was written by two members of The Rascals, Felix Cavaliere
and Eddie Brigati.

"You Better Run 

 What you tryin' to do to my heart? 
 What you tryin' to do to my heart? 
 You go around tellin' lies 
 You're runnin' 'round with the other guys 
 What you tryin' to do to my heart?..."
