Text: Billie Holiday. The Complete Billie Holiday On Verve, 1945-1959. Fine & Mellow.

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 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
