i got it bad and that ain t good

Ella Fitzgerald

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 wth the hours
When he s near I m fair and warmer
When he s gone I m cloudy with showers
And motion 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 whne the weekend s over
I end up like i started out
Just cryin my lil heart out
He don t love me
Like i love im
No, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain t good
So bad, so bad
I got it bad, so bad
Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I m glad
I m mad about you
Lord above me
Make him love me
The way he should
Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood
The things i tell my pillow
No woman should
I got it bad, and that ain t good
