Lyric You Ain t Got The Right

(Locorriere/Sawyer/Haffkine)

You ain t got the right to tell me I m not lonely
You don t understand what I ve been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that don t make it easier to lose
No that don t make it easier to lose

I woke up Monday morning
With the feeling he was gone
And I turned to face an empty place and I realized
That I didn t smell no coffee and all his pretty clothes were gone
I cried the first of the many tears you ll see me crying from now on

And you ain t got the right to tell me I m not lonely
You don t understand what I ve been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that don t make it easier to lose
No that don t make it easier to lose

I know his list of lovers was just as long as mine
But the sometime friend of a natural woman is to settle down
But the one time ways of that man
Have done busted up my mind
Now he s out the door, he s got one more
On his list than I got on mine

And you ain t got the right to tell me I m not lonely
You don t understand what I ve been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that don t make it easier to lose
No that don t make it easier to lose

Well, it s gonna be a long time before I pass this way again
I been dragged through school and I ve learned the rules
And it seems to me
That a man ll love to fool ya
And he won t always fool you nice
Yes he had his turn, I guess I ve learned
And no he ain t gonna fool me twice

And you still ain t got the right to tell me I m not lonely
You don t understand what I ve been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that don t make it easier to lose
No that don t make it easier to lose
