Bad Case Of Love
by 
B.B. King 
recording of 1998 
from 
Blues on the Bayou (MCA 11879) 
Got a bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
People my heart is full of misery 
I live in loneliness, never get no rest 
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 gotta bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
People my heart is full of misery 
I said, “Doctor, doctor, please do something for me 
I feel like a man going through the third degree 
Can’t sleep at night, can’t eat a bit" 
Since you been gone nothin' ever goes right 
You gotta bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
People my heart is full of misery 
He said son I know, just how you feel 
You love your little baby and you always will 
But your puff is short, your breathin' weak 
It won’t be long before you’re 6 feet deep 
You gotta bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
Got a bad case of love 
People my heart is full of misery
