I've Got It Bad And That Ain't Good |
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; |
In 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 aroun' |
I end up like I start out just cryin' my heart out |
He don’t love me like I love him nobody could |
I Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good |
Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood |
I Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good! |
And the things I tell my pillow no woman should |
I Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good! |
Tho folks with good intentions ell me to save my tears |
I’m glad I’m mad about him I can’t live without him |
Lord above me make him love me the way he should |
I Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good. |
