(Verse)
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 she near, I'm fair and warmer
When she gone, I'm cloudy with showers;
In emotion, like the ocean it's either sink or swim
When a man love a woman like she love him

(Chorus)
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way she 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 start out
Just crying my heart out
She don't love me like I love her
Nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good!

Though folks with good intentions tell me to save my tears
I'm glad I'm mad about her
I can't live without her

Lord above me make her love me
The way she should
I got it bad and that ain't good!
