You know I love you, baby, from A to Z
But something about you keep a-worryin' me
Sometimes you love me and sometimes you don't
Sometimes you will and then, sometimes you won't
Oh, you're so swell, baby, when you're well
You're so swell, baby, when you're well
You're so swell, baby, when you're well
Oh, but you just stay sick so long
Keep on connivin' and your jivin' too
True love ain't never gonna smile on you
You pace the floor, honey, you sit and cry
Pull out your hair and then you wonder why
It's 'cause you're so swell, baby, when you're well
You're so swell, baby, when you're well
Yeah, so swell, baby, when you're well
Oh, but you just stay sick so long
You build me up and then you let me down
Gimme little smile, but then you change it to frown
Yeah, if you love me like you say you do
How could you love me after you've been through?
You're so swell when you're well
You're so swell, baby, when you're well
Do you know that you're so swell when you're well?
Oh, but you just stay sick so long
Yeah, yeah
Fool that I am not to put you down
Gimme little smile and then you change it to a frown
Yeah, if you love me like you say you do
Tell me, how could you love me after you've been through?
Oh, ho, ho! When you're well
You're so swell, baby, when you're well
Can I hear? So swell, baby, when you're well
Oh, but you just stay sick so long
Do you know that you're ha, yeah, so swell, when you're well?
You're so swell! So swell, baby, when you're well
Let me hear you now!
Oh, but you just stay sick so long
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Uh-huh, you're so swell, baby, when you're well
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah!
Oh, but you just stay sick so
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
So swell, when you're well
You're so swell, baby, when you're well
So swell, baby, when you're well
Oh, but you just
So sick, so sick, uh-huh, yeah!
Do you know, ah, hah?
But you just stay sick so
So sick, so sick! Yeah-heah, yeah-heah!
