You know I love you baby from A to Z
But some' 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
But you stay sick so long
Keep on conniving and your living 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
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
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 too?
Oh hun-hun-hun
You're so swell oh when you're well
You're so swell baby when you're well
Do you know that you're so swell when you're well

Gimme little smile and then you change it to a frown
