boy! what love has done to me

Singer:fitzgerald, ella

i fetch his slippers

fill up the pipe he smokes

i cook the kippers

laugh at his oldest jokes

yet here i anchor

i might have had a banker

boy! what love has done to me

his nature's funny

quarrelsome half the time

and as for money

he hasn't got a dime

and here's the joker

i might have had a broker

boy! what love has done to me

when a guy looks my way

does he get emphatic

say he gets dramatic?

i just wanna fly 'way

but if i left him i'd be all at sea

i'm just a slavey

life is a funny thing

he's got the gravy

i got a wedding ring

and still i love him

there's nobody above him

boy! what love has done to me

his brains are minus

never a thought in sight

and yet his highness

lectures me day and night;

oh where was my sense

to sign that wedding licence?

boy! what love has done to me!

my life he's wrecking

bet you could find him now

out somewhere necking somebody else's frau

you get to know life when married to a low life

boy! what love has done to me

i can't hold my head up

the butcher

the baker

oh no he's a faker

brother i am fed up

but if i left him he'd be up a tree

where will it wind up

i don't know where i'm at

i make my mind up

i oughta leave him flat

but i have grown so

i love that dirty so-and-so

boy! what love has done to me.
