Lyrics
I Got It Bad For You
Each day we wake I smile, and hang my hopes upon your star
Grind some beans and hear the whistling?life is good so far
Reaching for some answers, I can feel you touch my hand
We've said and done enough, by now you'd think I'd understand
I got it bad for you
I wouldn't mind if you knew
Call you to say, "with you I'd stay"
If you decide you're blue
I wanna know right now
Don't wind me up like a clown
Walk to the stair follow you where
We meet a few steps down
How could you leave me there?
All you two did was stare
What was the point in treating me like,
Yesterday?s news in worn out shoes?
If you should change your mind
Just pedal on down to my side
Say, "Hi, how are you"? "Good and thank you"!
I'd like some coffee, wouldn't you?
I got it bad for you.
I got it bad for,
Simply gone mad for
I got it bad for you
