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 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 around
I end up like I start out
Crying my heart out!
He don't love me like I love him
No, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good
So bad, so bad!
I got it so bad, so bad
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!
Like a lonely weeping willow
Lost in the wood
The things I tell mt pillow
No woman should!
I got it bad, bad
So bad and that ain't good!
