Fine And Mellow

Billie Holiday

[Verse 1]
My man don’t love me
Treats me, oh, so mean
My man he don’t love me
Treats me awfully
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen

[Verse 2]
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow

[Chorus 1]
But when he starts in to love me
Hes so fine and mellow

[Verse 3]
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat

[Chorus 2]
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong

[Verse 4]
But if you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home every day
But if you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home every day

[Chorus 3]
But you’re so mean to me, baby
I know you’re gonna drive me away

[Verse 5]
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on

[Chorus 4]
Sometimes when you think it’s on, baby
It has turned off and gone
