Nina Simone - I Got It Bad (And That Ain'T Good) lyrics

Your rating:

  (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!
