I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good lyrics
by Duke Ellington
(Chorus 1)
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 around
I end up like I start out
Just crying my heart out
He don't love me like I love him
Nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good
(Chorus 2)
Like a lonely weeping willow
Lost in the wood
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 him
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
I got it bad and that ain't good
