I Got It Bad Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

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 

An emotion 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 and Monday rolls around 

I end up like I started out just cryin' my lil' 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 on it so bad, so bad though folks with good intentions 

Tell me to save my tears 

I'm glad, I'm mad about you, I can't live without you 

Lord above me 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, bad so bad and that ain't good
