Lyrics I Never Had It So Good (And Felt So Bad) - The Chi-Lites
Ah,
yeah,
I
felt
like
a
king
Standing
in
front
of
the
judge
Because
I
knew,
that
whatever
went
down
I
would
be
a
free
man,
yeah
Well,
I
ran
into
this
friend
of
mine,
just
the
other
day
And
he
told
me
he
had
heard
about
my
freedom
And
that
if
he
ever
saw
me,
There
were
a
few
things
that
he′d
like
to
say
and
So
he
said:
"Who
would
be
with
you
when
the
flame
dies
down'
Who
will
you
depend
on
when
no
one
else
is
around?"
I
looked
at
him
and
said
"You
know,
I
like
being
on
the
loose"
But
now,
that
I
think
about
it,
I
got
to
tell
the
truth
Our
day
in
court′s
been
one
year
to
the
day
Our
first
anniversary
going
our
separate
ways
As
I
celebrate
being
free
at
last
Never
had
it
so
good,
and
felt
so
bad
Went
window
shopping
just
this
afternoon
How
she
used
to
want
me
to
take
her
Saw
a
silly
looking
hat
she
sure
would
have
had
Never
had
it
so
good,
and
felt
so
bad
She
don't
wait
up
at
night
for
me,
no
more
I
make
excuses
to
the
hat-rack
by
the
door
My
kind
of
happiness
has
finally
come
Bet
you
know,
it's
kinda
sad
Never
had
it
so
good,
and
felt
so
bad
(and
felt
so
bad)
When
I
took
a
drink,
I
never
heard
her
complain
She
never
dragged
me
shopping
When
I
could
have
watched
a
ball
game
The
grass
is
growing
tall
And
I,
I′m
getting
kind
of
fat
Never
had
it
so
good,
and
felt
so
bad
(and
felt
so
bad)
Never
had
it
so
good,
and
felt
so
bad
(and
felt
so
bad)
Oh,
my
baby,
my
baby
Oh
I
got
to
admit
it,
that
I
made
a
mistake
Tell
me
how
much
more
Can
a
poor
heart
take′
Never
had
it
so
good,
and
felt
so
bad
Never
had
it
so
good,
and
felt
so
bad
Never
had
it
so
good,
and
felt
