[rehearsal fragment]

Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way that 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

And when the fish are jumping
And (..)
I end up like a star (?)
Just crying my heart out (?)

Lord above me make him love me
The way he should
I got it bad,
I got it bad,
And that ain't good
