Duke Ellington
I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good)
[Verse 1]
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good

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

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm glad I'm mad about him
I can't live without him
[Verse 3]
Lord above me, make him love me
The way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good

[Outro]
Like a lonely weeping willow
Lost in the wood
The things I tell my pillow
Nobody should
I got it bad and that ain't good
