Never never never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I've got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I've 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've got it bad and that ain't good

(Instrumental break)

Folks with good intentions tell 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've got it bad and that ain't good
