Never treat me sweet and gentle
The way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good

My poor heart it's sentimental
Know it ain't made out of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good

When the weekend is over
And Monday rolls round
I am the way that I started out
Just crying my heart out

She don't love me like I love her
Nobody could, I got it bad and that ain't good

Folks with good intentions
Tell me to save up my tears
I'm so glad I'm mad about her
Cause I can't live without her

Lord above, make her love me
The way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
I got it bad and that ain't good
