You ain't got the right to tell me I'm not lonely
|
'Cause you don't understand what I've been through
|
She had every right to do the wrong that she done to me
|
And that don't make it easier to lose
|
And that don't make it easier to lose
|
|
I woke up Wednesday mornin' with the feelin' she was gone
|
I turned to face an empty place and I realised
|
That I didn't smell no coffee and all her pretty clothes was gone
|
I cried the first of the many tears you'll see me cryin' from now on
|
|
And you ain't got the right to tell me I'm not lonely
|
'Cause you don't understand what I've been through
|
She had every right to do the wrong that she done to me
|
And that don't make it easier to lose
|
And that don't make it easier to lose
|
|
I know her list of lovers was just as long as mine
|
But the sometime plan of a natural man is to settle down
|
But the one time ways of that woman done busted up my mind
|
Now she's out the door and she got one more on her list than I got on mine
|
|
And you ain't got the right to tell me I'm not lonely
|
'Cause you don't understand what I've been through
|
She had every right to do the wrong that she done to me
|
And that don't make it easier to lose
|
And that don't make it easier to lose
|
|
It's gonna be a long time 'fore I come this way again
|
I been dragged through school and I learned the rules and it seems to me
|
That a woman love to do you but she won't always do you nice
|
She had her turn, I guess I learned
|
You know she ain't gonna do me twice
|
|
And you still ain't got the right to tell me I'm not lonely
|
'Cause you don't understand what I've been through
|
She had every right to do the wrong that she done to me
|
And that don't make it easier to lose
|
And that don't make it easier to lose
