(B. Holiday)



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



Some times when you think it's on baby

It has turned off and gone
