I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good) Songtext
von Lauren Henderson

The poets say
That all who love are blind
I′m in love
And I know what time it is

The good book says
Go seek and ye shall find
I have sought
And my, what a climb it is

My life is 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

Any motion 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 around
I end up
Like I start off
Just crying
My heart out

He don't love me
Like I love I′m
No, nobody could
I got it bad
And that ain't good


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
Never treats me
Sweet and gentile
The way he should
I got it bad
And that ain′t
Good
