Nina Simone - I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good Lyrics






My baby 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 a lonely 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 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;
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 a lonely 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!

    T.... L....

    +Tom Laveign Nice Marmot.

    T.... L....

    Little of this, little of that...

  54. B.... B....

    This is GREAT .
    Edward Kennedy Ellington original tune ,no? done with Ivy Anderson 's voice,probably ?)
    Ms. Simone re-invents everything she does though , turns it into a Nina Simone song. . . .

  55. D.... C....

    Nina simone is hard to beat, but a band called Duo Gadjo has a fantastic version as well. You can look em up on spotify, amazon, pandora etc.

  56. M.... h....

    A treasure --- she was one of a kind --- her music is forever--- rip

  57. N.... C....

    billie holiday is the greatest indeed

    R.... R....

    don't bother, trust me

    R.... R....

    Why you wanna do that to me?

    R.... R....

    Yimi Cruz if you're okay with watching a grown man be forced to wear makeup and cross dress by his rapist in prison to sing this in a talent show look up Oz Beecher singing

  61. P.... A....

    The original Port Huron Statement

    P.... A....

    @Paul Adam YEAH!!! Not that compromised second draft bullshit!

  62. l.... p....

    Make me feel so sad...I miss someone.

  63. A.... M....

    Such a beautiful song

  64. C.... S....

    I was part of the Seattle 7....me and six other guys.

    C.... S....

    Do you mind if I do a J

    C.... S....

    "The Seattle 7, yea, that was me.... and 6 other guys"

    C.... S....

    Walter! If you're there, pick up the fucking phone, man!

  65. C.... H....

    This is better than the misogyny of Gangsta rap, as it really has greater emotional range and a better tune.

    C.... H....

    @Jalen W
    GIRRRRRRRRRRL

    C.... H....

    It's different.

    C.... H....

    The "dead eyes" comment was going a little too far. Would you say something similar to someone you know? I don't agree with his comparison comment either but that's a little fucked up. I think you have cold jazzy eyes CHris, and that's a compliment.

    C.... H....

    Such a good conversation, guys. On all fronts

    C.... H....

    But graneed it took place thrwe years ago. Perhaps were a lititle older, a little wiser. And a little less judgmental

  66. D.... ....

    My baby never treats me
    Sweet and gentle
    The way he should
    I got it bad and that ain't good
    No, that ain't good

    My poor heart is sentimental
    Not made of wood
    'Cause 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 cryin' my heart out

    Lord above me
    Make him love me
    The way he should
    The way he should

    Because I've got it so bad and that ain't good

  67. p.... ....

    Tell me about yourself, Jeffrey.

    p.... ....

    +phxsns1 Not much to tell.

  68. A.... W....

    I love , love this song.

  69. M.... M....

    Best version of this song, Nina is the queen. Any proper musician knows which key she's singing it in so I can get the proper sheet music? I always learn by ear and end up picking the wrong key on the sheet music :s

    M.... M....

    I think it's in A

  70. Z.... F....

    So did i!

  71. P.... ....

    This is my very favourite song by Nina. The way she sings it... so heartbreaking! It just takes my breath away each and everytime! the best part starts from time 02:00

  72. D.... D....

    "Tell me about yourself, Jeffrey."

  73. G.... ....

    fuckin' a

  74. S.... H....

    this shit is spiritual xx:)

  75. m.... d....

    doppest feeling ever

  76. t.... ....

  77. J.... W....

    The Dude brought me here

  78. B.... s....

    as musicas desa, tiazona relaxa a mente

  79. B.... s....

    as musicas dessa tiazona realacha a mente

  80. L.... ....

    Nina the elite!

  81. j.... b....

    i invented flossing brushes

  82. s.... ....

    I got it bad...

  83. T.... M....

    Right on!

  84. G.... ....

    This song is so beautiful. It speaks to me, it makes my soul alive. It transforms my consciousness. I can see both the sad and happy of my life replayed - almost sepia like - in front of my eyes. It makes me want to love.

  85. M.... C....

    Nina simone you GODDESS!!

  86. T.... ....

    What's with the fucking shitty bud lite ads all over every single fucking video.

  87. N.... ....

    No one could EVER sing this like Miss Simone. There's so much emotion in this performance; so moving..

  93. V.... N....

    the big lebowski ! also, SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNIE!!

  94. D.... ....

    The genius of Nina Simone meets the genius of Duke Ellington. One deserves the other. To the bone....moving. The definitive version. Nuff said.

  95. A.... T....
