Lyrics

You know I love you, baby, from A to Z But something about you keep a-worrying me Sometimes you love me, and sometimes you don't Sometimes you will, and then, sometimes you won't Oh, you're so swell, baby, when you're well You're so swell, baby, when you're well You're so swell, baby, when you're well Oh, but you just stay sick so long Keep on conniving and your jiving too True love ain't never gonna smile on you You pace the floor, honey, you sit and cry Pull out your hair, and then you wonder why It's 'cause you're so swell, baby, when you're well You're so swell, baby, when you're well You're so swell, baby, when you're well Oh, but you just stay sick so long You build me up, and then you let me down Gimme little smile, but then you change it to frown Yeah, if you love me like you say you do How could you love me after you've been through?
