I love you honey from a to z
Something about you keep on worried me
Today you love me tomorrow you don't
Sometime you will sometime you wont
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell mama when you're well
So swell when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
You build me up then you let me down
The way you treat me is the talk of the town
If you love me like you said you do
How come you treat me like you do do do
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
Keep on connivin' and jivin' too
True love will never smile on you
You walked the floor just sit and cry
Pull out your hair and wonder why
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
So swell baby when you're well
You so swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
Yeah you're so swell baby when you're well
