A simple interpretation of a jazz staple.

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 she's near I'm fair and warmer
When she's gone I'm cloudy with showers

An emotion like the ocean
It's either sink or swim
When a boy loves a girl
Like I love her

Never treats me sweet and gentle, the way she 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
No, nobody could, I got it bad and that ain't good

I got it so bad, so bad though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm glad, I'm mad about you, I can't live without you

Lord above me make her love me the way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good

Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood
The things I tell my pillow
Nobody should
I got it bad, so bad. So bad, and that ain't good
