I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
My heart is filled with misery

I live in loneliness, can’t get no rest
I went to see a love doctor to get out of this mess
Took a look at me before he cast his spell
Shook his head, and then began to yell

You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
Boy, your heart is filled with misery

I said, 'Doctor, doctor, do something for me
I feel like a man going through the third degree
I can't sleep at night, can't eat a bite
Since she been gone, ain’t nothin’going right'

I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love people
My heart is filled with misery

Son, I know just how you feel
You love your baby and you always will
But your wind is short, and your pulse is weak
It won't be long before you're six feet deep'

You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
Your heart is filled with misery
