Joe Jackson - I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good) Lyrics

Joe Jackson Lyrics

"I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)"
(originally by Duke Ellington)

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 around
I end up like I start out
Just crying my heart out

He don't love me like I love him
Nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good

Though 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

Like a lonely weeping willow
Lost in the wood
The things I tell my pillow
Nobody should
I got it bad and that ain't good
