i got it bad and that ain t good

Billie Holiday

Duke Ellington / Paul F. Webster

Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
Well I m so mad about him
I can t live without him
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I ve got it bad
And that ain t good
And when the weekend s over
And Monday rolls around
I end up like I start out
Just crying my heart out
He don t love me like I love him
No, nobody could
I ve got it bad
And that ain t good
Lord above me, make him love me
The way he should
I got it bad
And that ain t good
