Lyrics Fine and Mellow - Billie Holiday, Billie Holiday Orchestra

Fine and Mellow

My man don’t love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man he don’t love me
Treats me awful mean
He’s the, lowest man
That I’ve ever see
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He’s so fine and mellow
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
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong
But if you treat me right baby
I’ll stay home everyday
Just treat me right baby
I’ll stay home night and day
But you’re so mean to me baby
I know you’re gonna drive me away
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it’s on baby
It has turned off and gone
