[Verse 1]
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good

[Verse 2]
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 3]
He don't love me like I love him
No, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Lord above me
Make him love me
The way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good
[Outro]
Now, maybe I'm wrong to feel the way I do
I know my heart would never take somebody new
I got it bad and that ain't good
