I Got It Bad
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

I Got It Bad
(1941) paul francis webster, duke ellington
My baby ever 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 aroun'
I end up like i start out just cryin' my heart out
He don't love me like i love him nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good!
Like alonely weeping willow lost in the wood
I got it bad and that ain't good!
And the things i tell my pillow no woman should
I got it bad and that ain't good!
Tho 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
I got it bad and that ain't good!
Original lyric
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;
In emotion, 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 and monday rolls aroun'
I end up like i start out just cryin' my heart out
He don't love me like i love him nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good!
Like alonely weeping willow lost in the wood
I got it bad and that ain't good!
And the things i tell my pillow no woman should
I got it bad and that ain't good!
Tho 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
I got it bad and that ain't good!

I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good)
Duke Ellington / Paul F. Webster
Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
Well I'm so mad about him
I can't live without him
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I've got it bad
And that ain't good
And when the weekend's over
And Monday rolls around
I end up like I start out
Just crying my heart out

My Man Medley
Spoken:
I just wanna say this
This is something I thing most of you ladies will identify with
And maybe some of you men too
(the man I love)
Someday hell come along
The man I love
And hell be rich and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
Ill do my best to make him stay
Hell look at me and smile
Ill understand
And maybe for awhile
Hell take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both wont say a word
Spoken:
You know Im the kind of lady
That always seems to find the wrong man
At the wrong place at the wrong time
Its not that I go out looking for him
But somehow he always seems to find me
You see what Im looking for is the kind of man
That comes home with candy
And flowers sayin come on put on your dancing shoes
Cause were gonna wine and dine, wine and dine
But what I always seem to find is the kind of man
That comes home fussing
And fighting, breaking my best dishes
And beat my head outside the wall
Shows no love no respect and nothing at all
(I got it bad and that aint good)
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that aint good!
(no, it aint good at all, you know)
Spoken:
Listen, have you been treating your lady nice lately, you have?
And how about you?
Great, well Ive been gettin rocked completely!
My poor heart is sentimental its not made of wood
I got it bad and that aint good
Spoken:
So you see on monday nights
I just go out and drink and drink
But when the weekends over on monday rolls aroun
I end up like I start out just cryin my heart out
Cryin my heart out
Lord above me (come on) make him love me
Then he should
I got it bad baby
I got it bad baby
I got it bad and that aint good!
No it aint good at all you know
Spoken:
But listen mister big shot Ive got your number
And Ill take care of you
And you too and you and you and you
(some of these days)
Some of these days
Youre gonna miss your donna
Some of these days
Youre gonna feel so lonely
Youll miss my huggin
Youll miss my kissin
Youll miss me honey
When youre far away
Youre gonna be so lonely
For me only
Cause you know daddy
You had you way
And if I leave you
You know its gonna grieve you
Youre gonna miss your sweet lovin donna
Some of these days
And if I leave you
You know its gonna grieve you
Youre gonna miss your sweet little donna
Some of these days
Hey honey call me when you got time
Know what I mean...

Your Love Is So Good For Me
(ken peterson)
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Every day you're on my mind
Wanna be near you all the time
You made my poem rhyme
And my heart began to sing again
The day your eyes met mine
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Two hearts just running free
Like a wind song through the trees
Your love does not possess
It just holds me where i wanna be
With binds of tenderness
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Baby, you know your love is so good
It's good
You know it's good
Like a star up in the sky
Burning brightly, you and i
Time will tell if love survives
For we only have today
And today love is alive
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
It's so good
You know your love is so good,
So good for me...
It's so good
No need to say the words
When you touch me they will be heard
You gave so much to me
And you showed me how to love the way
True love was meant to be
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me

A Wonderful Woman
A good talk is so up lifting
Taking one away from drifting
No thinking of if-ing
Just a good talk
One that make you want to walk
But not stalk...
One that take you back in years
Remembering your young tears and fears.
The laughter of childhood...
Damn! a good talk is so good.
Filling your heart with warmth
Putting dreams out of place...
Adding to your world lace...
And not haste.
A good talk and the world stands still...
What a thrill...
taking away ones ills...
Forgetting about ones pills...
Damn! what a good talk will do for you.
Opening up things within...
That you re-live again...
That good talk is with a woman.
A woman you enjoy...
A good talk taking from toy of being a boy.
The things a good woman is capable of...
Without making love.
So I thank the good LORD above...
For speech...
And what a good woman can teach.
All in a good talk...
A conversation without a face...
But on the over side woman.
A woman with grace.

What not sweet?
Drops are sweet; dews are sweet.
Tears are too when in love.
Words are sweet, heard or said.
Silence is too when in love.
I see you; you see me;
I see myself when in love.
Laughs are good; smiles are good;
Sulks are too when in love.
Hair is sweet; lips are sweet;
Sweats are too when in love.
Wits are good, talks are good;
Nonsense is too when in love.
To pursue and to pine are
Alike I like when in love.
What not sweet or good
When I am in love with you?

Good-bye
Good-bye! -- 'tis like a churchyard bell -- good-bye!
Poor weeping eyes! Poor head, bowed down with woe!
Kiss me again, dear love, before you go.
Ah, me, how fast the precious moments fly!
Good-bye! Good-bye!
We are like mourners when they stand and cry
At open grave in wintry wind and rain.
Yes, it is death. But you shall rise again --
Your sun return to this benighted sky.
Good-bye! Good-bye!
The great physician, Time, shall pacify
This parting anguish with another friend.
Your heart is broken now, but it will mend.
Though it is death, yet still you will not die.
Good-bye! Good-bye!
Dear heart! dear eyes! dear tongue, that cannot lie!
Your love is true, your grief is deep and sore;
But love will pass -- then you will grieve no more.
New love will come. Your tears will soon be dry.
Good-bye! Good-bye!

You're So Good
If you were an apple, I would take a bite
If you were a lemon, I would squeeze you tight
You're so good, I've got to have you
You're so good that nothing else matters
You're so good, you're so good, you're so good for me
If you were a penny, you'd be good as gold
If you were a snowball, I would love the cold
'Cause you're so good, I've got-got to have you
You're so good that nothing else matters
You're so good, you're so good, you're so good,
You're so good for me
If you were a candle, I would light your fire
And if you were hard labor, I would never tire
'Cause you're good, I've got-got to have you
You're so good that nothing else matters
You're so good, you're so good, you're so good
You're so good for me
You're so good for me
You're so good, you're so good, you're so good for me

For Heavens Sake
I surely knew it was a trap ye
Yet my hands they would not listen
I shoulda known your word was flap
Comin out all sweet an drippin
O so where could I go - yes but to the lord
I been to your house an see what you adore
I left there stiff - stiff as a board
Where could I go but to the lord
When will I hurt for heavens sake
When will I suffer for the sake of heaven
All my love well it is madness
Freely given to you folks with gladness
I will not live and die - no not by the sword
I am weak without the joy of the lord
Taste and see that the lord is good
Lets bend our knees like we know we should
We cant see clear - our eyes are made of wood
Taste and see boy that the lord is good

No Good Man
Dan fisher, irene higginbotham, sammy gallop
No good man
Loving on a no good plan never treats me as he should
And that aint good hes always bringing me down
Hes no saint heaven knows tahts what he aint
Spends his money foolishly and not on me
Im the one who gets the run around
I ought to hate him but still I love him so
Cos I require love thats made of fire
And in his arms I find always get that kind
No good man
Ever since the world began teres been other folks like me
Born to be in love with a no good man
I ought to hate him but still I love him so

One Good Love
One good love
Erases all the bitter tears on an empty dance hall
All those lonely nights when she never called
It just don't seem so tragic after all
With one good love
One good love
And daddy's hands were strong and fair
And a momma understands because she's been there
And all mistakes were just because they cared so much
With one good love
[Chorus]
One good love
You bless all my memories
You soften the fall of my tears
And in my arms you're more than enough
You're one good love
Hey you're one good love
