I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good Lyrics

[Intro]
La-da-da-di-la-da-da
Oh, la-la-la
Da-di-la-li-a-ha-hi
Oh, la-a-a

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

[Verse 2]
Oh, my poor heart, it's sentimental
You know it ain't made out of wood
Oh, I got it bad and that ain't good

[Verse 2]
Oh, when the weekend is over
And Monday rolls round
I am the way that I started out
You know I'm crying, crying my heart out

[Chorus]
He don't love me like I love him
Ah, nobody could
Oh, I got it bad, bad, oh, oh
I got it bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
I got it bad, oh, bad
I got it bad and that ain't good
Oh, bad, bad, bad, oh, oh
Bad, oh, bad
Uh, bad, bad, bad
Oh, I got it bad, bad, bad
Oh, bad, oh

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
