I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)

Never treat me sweet and gentle, the way he should

I've got it bad and that ain't good

My poor heart is oh, sentimental, not made of wood

I've got it bad and sweetheart that ain't good



But when the weekend's over

And Monday roll around

I, I end up like I start out

Cryin', cryin' my heart out, yeah



He don't love me like I love him

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody could

Said, I got it bad now

Oh Lord, said now and I, that ain't, that ain't good



Like a lonely weepin' willow

Said lost, oh yeah, I'm lost in the wood

Said, I'm, I got it bad now

Oh, yeah, that ain't good



Listen and the things I, I tell, I tell my pillow

No woman, oh, no woman should

Say, I got it bad, I got it bad, no, no

That ain't, that ain't good



Though the folks with good, good intention

They tell me, tell me to save my tears

But I'm glad, I'm mad about him, oh, yeah

And I say, I can't, I can't live without him, oh Lord



Lord above me, make him, make him love me

The way, the way he should

I got it bad now, say, now that ain't good

No, no, that ain't good



Say now, Lord above me, make him love me

The way, the way he should

I said, I got it bad, I got it bad, oh Lord

That ain't good, that ain't good



That ain't, that ain't good

I, I got it bad and that ain't good

That ain't, no, no

That ain't, that ain't, that ain't good
