Etta James
I Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good
[Verse 1]
Never treats me sweet and gentle, whoa, the way he should now
I've got it bad now, yeah, ooh, and that ain't good
Oh, no it ain't now
My poor heart is oh so sentimental
Ooh, it's not made, not made of wood
But oh, oh, and I've got it bad
Lord know and that ain't good, no, it ain't

[Bridge]
But when the weekend is over
Monday, Monday roll around now
I end up, end up like I start out
Oh, just crying, crying, crying, crying, crying
Crying my heart out, yeah, now now

[Verse 2]
He don't love me like I love him, no
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody should, no, no, no, no
And I, I've got it bad, baby
Let me tell you now, child, now that ain't good, no, it ain't

[Bridge]
But when the weekend is, is over, yeah
And Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday, and Thursday
They rollin' around now, now
I end up like I start out now, now, now
Just crying, crying, crying my heart out, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, now
[Verse 3]
He don't love me like I love him, no, no
Oh, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody could, now, now
I've got it bad, let me tell you now, child
And that ain't good, no, baby, that ain't
No, that ain't, that ain't good, oh yeah

[Outro]
Got it bad now, got it real bad now
In it real bad now, actin' real bad now
I've got it bad, child, now
Ooh, he's givin' it to me, so I got it real bad
Can't help myself, hold on, hold on, yeah now
Oh, he's sockin' it to me
He's givin' it to me real, real
Got me actin' real bad now
Can't help myself, can't help myself
I got a monkey on my back now, I can't get him off
Can't get him off, can't pull him off
That's why, that's why I got it, oh, oh, oh yeah now
I got it bad, oh, bad, baby, oh baby
