Ella Fitzgerald — I Got It Bad And That Aint Good

[Verse 1] The poets say that all who love are blind But I'm in love and I know what time it is The good book 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 An emotion like the ocean, it's either sink or swim When a woman loves a man like I love him [Verse 2] 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 3] He don't love me Like I love him No, nobody could I got it bad, and that ain't good [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] So bad, so bad [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I got it so bad, so bad The folks with good intentions Tell me to save my tears I'm glad I'm mad about him I can't live without him [Outro] Lord above me Make him love me The way he should Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood The things I tell my pillow no woman should I got it bad, bad So bad and that ain't good
