have it bad
Hopelessly in love
To have it bad is to be intensely affected by something, almost always romantic infatuation: She's got it bad for him.
The phrase implies being overwhelmed or consumed by feeling, often with a hint that the person can't help themselves.
Sometimes extended to obsessive interest in anything: He has it bad for vintage motorcycles.
