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
Oh but you just stay sick so long
