You Ain't Got The Right

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
