Joshua Boone - I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)

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

Any motion like the ocean
It's either sink or swim
When a man love a woman
Like she 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 around
I end up like I started out
Just cryin' 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
