duke ellington - i've got it bad (and that ain't good) lyrics
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 n0body 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..
