Fine and Mellow Songtext
von Carmen McRae

My man he don′t love me
Treats me, oh, so mean
My man he don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
He′s the lowest man that I've ever see

He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
Filled up churches, sure making it mean, for me
He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow

But when he starting to love me, ooh, ooh, ohh
He's so fine and mellow


Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
I say that love will make you drink and gamble
Love will make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong (oh, so wrong)

Now I wanna tell you if you treat me right baby
I′ll stay home everyday
I said if you treat me right baby
I′ll try and stay home everyday

But you're so mean to me baby
I know, I know, I know you′re gonna drive me away
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 off baby
It has turned off and gone, gone, gone
