Billie Holiday - The Complete Billie Holiday On Verve 1945 - 1959

I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)

(That's a bad time)
(Skim the whole song once)
No, c'mon
(C'mon, put in the stance, go)

Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way that he should
I've got it bad
And that ain't good

My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I've got it bad
And that ain't good

And when the fish are jumping
And Friday rolls around
I end up like I start out
Just crying my heart out

Lord above me
Make him love me
The way he should
I've got it bad
I've got it bad
And that ain't good

Now why you stopping there, what's the matter-
I've got it bad
And somebody play
I've got it bad
And somebody answers
Then-, bah!

But that ain't good
You dig? (Got it, yeah)
So you give one to the treble, one to the tenner, what else we have?
I got it bad
That's not what I'm tryna say
I got it bad-, and then, yeah
And that ain't pretty-, you know?
Fly away
