So Swell When You're Well

I wrote this song back in the '60s
 And Fats Domino and I recorded this together
 He did the singing, I did the playing
 The name of this song is "So Swell When You're Well"
 Later on, Aretha Franklin and I collaborated on
 Sort of an extension to the song
 So you can also get it by Aretha Franklin on an album entitled
 "Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky)"
 You know I love ya honey from A to Z
 Something 'bout you seem to worry me
 Sometimes you love me, honey sometimes you don't
 Today you will and I know tomorrow you won't
 It's 'cause you're so swell when you're well
 So swell when you're well
 So swell when you're well
 Well but you just stay sick so long
 Keep on conniving and your jivin' too
 True love is never gonna smile on you
 You pace the floor and honey you sit and cry
 Pull out your hair and then you wonder why
 'Cause you're so swell when you're well, well think you're
 So swell when you're well, I'm thinking
 So, so, so swell when you're well
 Well but you just stay sick so long
 Well, well now, when you're well, when you're well
 So swell mama when you're well
 I'm thinking, so swell when you're well
 Well but you just stay sick so long
 You build me up and then you let me down
 Gimme little smile and then you change it to a frown
 If you love me like you say you do
 I wonder how could you love me, well abuse me too?
 Think you're so swell baby when you're well
 I think you're so swell when you're well
 So swell when you're well
 Well but you just stay sick so long
