i got it bad
The poets say that all who love are blind But I'm in love and I know what time it is The good book says, "Go seek and ye shall find" Well, I have sought and my, what a climb it is! My life is just like the weather It changes with the hours When he's near I'm fair and warmer When he's gone I'm cloudy with showers An emotion like the ocean It's either sink or swim When a woman loves a man Like I love him Never treats me sweet and gentle, the way he should I got it bad and that ain't good My poor heart is sentimental, not made of wood I got it bad and that ain't good But when the weekend's over and Monday rolls around I end up like I started out just cryin' my lil' heart out He don't love me like I love him No, nobody could, I got it bad and that ain't good So bad, so bad I got on it so bad, so bad though folks with good intentions Tell me to save my tears I'm glad, I'm mad about you, I can't live without you Lord above me make him love me the way he should Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood The things I tell my pillow No woman should I got it bad, bad so bad and that ain't good
