I Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good

Posted on

I wrote this song live over a series of gigs in my blues band at the time Toxic Groove. It started as a warm up jam but just kept evolving and became this great foot-tapper that audiences loved. Make sure you wait for the uptempo change around the half way  mark. This is when the dance floor fills up! – Stevie J

Lyric Video

I GOT IT BAD AND THAT AIN’T GOOD

Stevie J Mayer

Ooh yeah, now listen up

I got it bad for you baby
I got it bad & that ain’t good, no no
Got is so bad for you baby
I want you more than ten men could
Got it so bad for you baby
The situation ain’t lookin’ good, no way

Well I know that she’s a liar
And her heart is made of wood
I know that she’s made out
With half the neighbourhood

But I got it bad for this lady
I got it bad & that ain’t so good, yeah
Got it so bad for you baby
I must consult the brotherhood
So talk to me brother

[ INSTRUMENTAL ]

Yeah, she says we’re meant to be together
It’s in her horoscope
But man I’m gettin’ tired
Of walking this tightrope

I got it bad for you baby
I got it bad and that just ain’t no good
Got it so bad for you baby
My goose is cooked it’s understood

[ INSTRUMENTAL ]

This time I’m gonna leave her
I’m walkin’ out the door
And I won’t be comin’ back
Well maybe just one more

(I got it bad for you baby)
Yeah I got it bad and that ain’t good
Got it so bad for you baby
I must believe the brotherhood
And you know what they say…

(I got it bad for you baby)
Yeah I got it bad and that ain’t good
(I got it bad for you baby)
So so bad
(I got it bad for you baby)
Ooh, I got it bad and that ain’t no good
(I got it bad for you baby)
Got it so bad for you baby
My goose is cooked it’s understood
