I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good) - Live At The Newport Jazz Festival,1957
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
And motion 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
I end up like I started out
Just cryin' my lil' heart out
No, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good
I got it bad, so bad
Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm mad about you
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, and that ain't good
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
And motion 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
I end up like I started out
Just cryin' my lil' heart out
No, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good
I got it bad, so bad
Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm mad about you
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, and that ain't good
