As recorded by BILLIE HOLIDAY:

What makes me treat you the way I do Gee, 
Baby, ain't I good to you 
There's nothin' in the world 
Too good for a girl that's good and true 
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you
Bought you a fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring, a big Cadillac car and everything 
It's love that makes me treat you the way I do 
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you


(Instrumental Break) 

What makes me treat you the way I do 
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you 
There's nothin' in the world 
Too good for a guy that's good and true
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you

Fur coat for Christmas, a diamond ring 
Big Cadillac car and everything 
There's nothin' in the world that I wouldn't do 
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you

What makes me treat you the way I do 
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you 
There's nothin' in the world 
Too good for a girl that's good and true 
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you

Fur coat for Christmas, a diamond ring
Big Cadillac car and everything 
It's love that makes me treat you the way I do 
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you 
Gee, Baby, ain't I good to you

As recorded by NANCY WILSON:

Love makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you
There's nothin' too good for a man like you
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you

I bought you gold cufflinks for Christmas
A sapphire ring, a diamond tie pin fit for a king
Oh, love makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee baby ain't
I good to you

(Instrumental)
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you
(Instrumental)
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you

I make your eggs every morning with apple butter on your toast
Praised your mainly charms from coast to coast
Love makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you
