Lyrics for Fine And Mellow

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 see He wears high trimmed pants Stripes are really yellow He wears high trimmed pants 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 Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long Love will make you do things That you know is wrong But if you treat me right baby I'll stay home everyday If you treat me right baby I'll stay home everyday 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 like the faucet It turns off and on Sometimes when you think it's on baby It has turned off and gone
