I Got It Bad (and That Ain`t Good) — текст песни (Ellington Duke)

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 a lonely 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 ell 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..
