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've lost my baby
I shake my head and walk away, walk away

Sometime I wanta stay here
Then again I wanta leave
Sometime I wanta leave here
Then again I wanta stay
I just can't make my mind up
I shake my head and walk away, walk away

I'm tryin'a tell you people
Tell you just how I feel
I'm tryin'a tell you people
Tryin' to tell you just how I feel
I feel so bad, yes I do
My baby gave me a dirty deal

(Instrumental Break)

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

Sometime I wanta stay here
Then again I wanta leave, yes I do
Sometime I wanta leave here
Then again I wanta stay, alright
Since I've got my clothes packed
I'll catch a train and ride away, gonna ride away
Gonna ride away
I'm gonna leave here
I'm so lonely
I feel so bad
Gonna leave this town
Oh, yeah
Can't stay no longer
Feel so bad

As recorded by ELVIS PRESLEY:

Feel so bad
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
Feel so bad
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
Yes, I got my rain check
Shake my head and walk away
 
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, people that's the way I feel
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, people that's the way I feel
Sometimes I think I won't
Then again I think I will

Sometimes I wanta stay here
Then again I wanta leave
'Times I wanta leave here
Then again I wanta stay
Yes, I got my train fare
Pack my grip and ride away

(Instrumental Break)
 
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, people that's the way I feel
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, people that's the way I feel
Sometimes I think I won't
Then again I think I will
