(Locorriere/Sawyer/Haffkine/David)
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 what he did to me
But that don't make it easier to lose
That don't make it easier to lose
Woke 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 dirty clothes were gone
I cried the first of the many tears
You'll see me crying from now on
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 what he did to me
But that don't make it easier to lose
That don't make it easier to lose
I know his list of lover's was just as long as mine
But the sometime friend of a natural woman is to settle down
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've got on mine
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 what he did to me
But that don't make it easier to lose
That don't make it easier to lose
Well, it's gonna be a long time before I pass this way
I've been dragged through school and I've learned the rules
That when a man is out to fool you
He won't always fool you nice
He's had his turn and
I guess I learned that he ain't
Gonna fool me twice...
