Song lyrics

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

And motion like the ocean
It's either sink or swim
When a woman loves a man
Like I 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
I end up like I started out
Just cryin' my lil' heart out

He don't love me liike I love him
No, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good

So bad, so bad
I got it bad, so bad

Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm glad
I'm mad about you

Lord above me
Make him love me
The way he should
Like a lonely weeping
Willow lost in the wood

The things I tell my pillow
No woman should
I got it bad and that ain't good
