I Got It Bad (and That Ain’t Good)

Lyrics

(Verse) 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 she near, I'm fair and warmer When she gone, I'm cloudy with showers; In emotion, like the ocean it's either sink or swim When a man love a woman like she love him (Chorus) Never treats me sweet and gentle The way she 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 start out Just crying my heart out She don't love me like I love her Nobody could I got it bad and that ain't good! Though folks with good intentions tell me to save my tears I'm glad I'm mad about her I can't live without her Lord above me make her love me The way she should I got it bad and that ain't good!
