So Swell When You're Well Lyrics

you know I love you baby from A to Z
Something about you keep on worried me
sometimes you love me and sometimes you don't
Sometime you will and sometime you wont
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
So swell when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long

Keep on connivin' and jivin' too
True love will never smile on you
You walked the floor just sit and cry
Pull out your hair and wonder why
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
So swell baby when you're well
You so swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
Yeah you're so swell baby when you're well

You build me up then you let me down
The way you treat me is the talk of the town
If you love me like you said you do
How come you treat me like you do do do
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long

Cover art for So Swell When You're Well lyrics by Aretha Franklin

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; So swell, baby, when you're well... So swell, baby, when you're well, 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 too?

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 too?

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!
