I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good by Duke Ellington Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
But when the fish are jumpin', and Friday rolls around
My man and me, we gin some, and pray some, and sin some

[Verse 2]
He don't love me like I love him, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood
Lord, I got it bad and that ain't good
