WRITING CREDITS:
Sam Hopkins (for James Campbell, Jr., a.k.a. Little Milton)
Feel so bad.
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day.
I tell you I feel so bad.
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day.
Since I lost my baby
I shake my head and walk away—walk away.
Sometimes I wanna stay here,
then again I wanna leave.
Sometimes I wanna leave here,
then again I wanna stay.
I just can't make my mind up.
I shake my head and walk away, walk away.
I'm trying to tell you people,
tell you just how I feel.
I'm trying to tell you people,
trying to tell you just how I feel.
I feel so bad—yes I do.
My baby gave me a dirty deal.
Oh I feel so bad.
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day—yes I do.
I feel so bad.
Feel like a ball game on a rainy rainy rainy day.
Since I lost my baby,
I shake my head and walk away, I just walk away.
Sometimes I wanna stay here,
then again I wanna leave—yes I do.
Sometimes I wanna leave here,
then again I wanna stay—all right.
Well since I've got my clothes packed
I'll catch a train and ride away—gonna ride away.
I'm gonna ride away.
I'm gonna leave her.
I'm so lonely.
I feel so bad.
I'm gonna leave this town.
Oh yeah.
I can't stay no longer.
Feel so bad....
