Lyrics - I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good) by Ellington Duke

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..
