I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good

I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good - Ella Fitzgerald

Never treat 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 fish are jumping

And Friday rolls around

My man and me, we gin some

And pray some, and sin some

He don't love me like I love him

No nobody could

I got it bad, and that ain't good

Lord above me

Make him love me

The way he should

I got it bad, and that ain't good

Now maybe I'm wrong

To feel the way I do

I know my heart was never

Takes nobody knew

Got it bad, and that ain't good
