Stacey Kent - I Got It Bad lyrics

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 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 aroun'
I end up like i start out
Just cryin' my heart out
He don't love me like I love him
Nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good!

Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood
I got it bad and that ain't good!
And the things I tell my
Pillow no woman should
I got it bad and that ain't good!
Tho 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!
