[Verse 1]
Never treats me sweet and gentle the way that he should
I've got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental but certainly not made of wood
I've got it bad, huh, and that ain't good

[Bridge]
But when the weekend's over, and Monday rolls around
I end up like I start out
Just cryin' and cryin' and cryin' my poor eyes out

[Verse 2]
'Cause he don't love me like I love him
No, no, no, no, nobody could, no
I got it real bad and that ain't good, mmm, mmm, mmm

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
The folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm just glad I'm mad about him
'Cause I just can't, I just can't live without him

[Outro]
I'm asking, Lord up above me, make him love mе
The way that he should
'Cause I'vе got it, I've got it real, real, real bad
Oh, I've got it, got it so bad, yeah
I've got it bad, so bad
I've got it bad
I've got it bad and that ain't good
