Diana Ross - Fine And Mellow (Pt. 2) Lyrics

Diana Ross Lyrics

"Fine And Mellow (Pt. 2)"
(originally by Billie Holiday)
(from "Lady Sings The Blues" soundtrack)

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 seen

He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped 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, Daddy
I'll stay home every day
If you treat me right, Daddy
I'll stay home every day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think
It's on, baby
It has turned off and gone
