Jane Monheit - I Got It Bad (& That Ain't Good) Lyrics

The poets say that all who love are blind
Well, 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 hour
When he's near, I'm fair and warmer
When he is gone, I'm cloudy with showers
Any 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, no, 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 just crying my heart out
He don't love me like I love him, no, no, no, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good, no, no, no

The 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
I got it bad and that ain't good
