Never treat me sweet and gentle
The way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart it's sentimental
Know it ain't made out of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
When the weekend is over
And Monday rolls round
I am the way that I started 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
Folks with good intentions,
Tell me to save up my tears
I'm so glad I'm mad about her,
cause I can't live without her
Lord above, make her love me
the way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
I got it bad and that ain't good
