Lyrics

I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good

[Verse 1]

Never treats me sweet and gentle

The way she 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 cryin' my heart out

[Verse 2]

She don't love me like I love her

Nobody could

I got it bad and that ain't good

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

And when the weekend's over

And Monday rolls around

I end up like I start out

Just cryin' my heart out

[Outro]

She don't love me like I love her

Nobody could

I got it bad

I got it bad

I got it bad and that ain't good
