Intro Verse:

The poets say that all who love are blind,

But I’m in l[B+]ove, and I know what time it is.

The good book says, “Go seek and ye shall find.”

Well, I have s[B+]ought, and my, what a climb it is.

My life is 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[Bm7-5] I [E7/6]love him.

Melody:

Nev – er treats me sweet and gentle the[Bm7-5] way he should –

I got it bad and that ain’t good.[A7-9]

My poor heart is sen – ti – men – tal, not[Bm7-5] made of wood;

I got it bad and that ain’t good.

But when the [G/F#]weekend’s over and Monday rolls around,

I end up like I start out, just cry – in'[B+] my heart out.

He don’t love me like I love him; no [Bm7-5]- bod – y could --

I’ve got it bad and that ain’t good.

I got it bad and that ain’t good.

[Em7/9] I ran around with my own little crowd,

The usual laughs, not often, but loud;

And in the [E7/9]world that I knew,

I didn’t[A6/7/9] know about you.[E7/9]

Chasing[Em7/9] after the ring on the mer – ry – go – round,

Just taking my fun where it could be found,

And yet, what [E7/9]else could I do?

I didn’t[A6/7/9] know about you.

Bridge:

Darling, now I know

I had the loneliest yester[G/B]day [Am7-5] everyday;

In your arms,

I know for once in my life I’m liv – ing.

[Em7/9] Had a good time ev’ry time I went out;

Romance was a thing that I kidded about.
