Never treats me sweet and gentle

The way he should

'cause 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

My man and me,

We pray some,

We gin some

And sin some



He don't love me

Like i love him

Nobody could

I got it bad, and that ain't good



Now folks with good intentions

Tell me to save my tears

I'm glad i'm mad about him

I can't live without him



Lord above me,

Make him love me

The way he should



Like a lonesome weeping willow

Lost in the wood

The way i hug my pillow

No woman should

Because i got it bad, and that ain't good
