(1941) paul francis webster, duke ellington |
|
My baby ever 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! |
|
But when the weekend's over and monday rolls aroun' |
|
I end up like i start out just cryin' my heart out |
|
He don't love me like i love him nobody could |
|
I got it bad and that ain't good! |
|
Like alonely weeping willow lost in the wood |
|
I got it bad and that ain't good! |
|
And the things i tell my pillow no woman should |
|
I got it bad and that ain't good! |
|
Tho 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 got it bad and that ain't good! |
|
Original lyric |
|
The poets say that all who love are blind |
|
But i'm in love and i know what time it is! |
|
The good book says "go seek and ye shall find" |
|
Well, i have sought and my what a climb it is! |
|
My life is just like the weather |
|
It changes with the hours |
|
When he's near i'm fair and warmer |
|
When he's gone i'm cloudy with showers; |
|
In emotion, like the ocean it's either sink or swim |
|
When a woman loves a man like i love him. |
|
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! |
|
But when the weekend's over and monday rolls aroun' |
|
I end up like i start out just cryin' my heart out |
|
He don't love me like i love him nobody could |
|
I got it bad and that ain't good! |
|
Like alonely weeping willow lost in the wood |
|
I got it bad and that ain't good! |
|
And the things i tell my pillow no woman should |
|
I got it bad and that ain't good! |
|
Tho 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 got it bad and that ain't good! |
