Duke Ellington
I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good) (Live 1953)
[Verse 1]
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good

[Verse 2]
Cos my poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I got it bad, so bad, and that ain't good

[Bridge]
But when the weekend’s over
And Monday rolls around
I start out like I start out
Just crying my heart out

[Verse 2]
He don't love me like I love him
Nobody could
Cos I got it bad, so bad, and that ain't good

[Bridge]
Yes when the weekend’s over
And Monday rolls around
I wind up like I start out
Just crying my heart out
[Verse 3]
Lord above me make him love me
The way he should
Cos I’ve got it bad
I’ve got it bad and that ain't good
