Got'Em Bad
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
A may as well shout about it
I got the blues
I got'em bad
Yes this awful feeling
When you don't have what you thought you had
Oh yesterday, yesterday i sang love songs
But today i got'em bad
Oh, i didn't know she would leave me
I didn't know she was gone
Well, at last she should've told me goodbye people
But she stole away while i was gone
Yes that's what makes me feel so sad people
Oh, and today i got'em bad
Oh, i could tell you much more people
But i think you already how i feel
Oh, i could tell you much, much, much more people
But i think you already how i feel
Yes, you know i'm hurt beyond explaining people
And it's all because i've got a dirty deal
