(Ron Haffkine/Ray Sawyer/Dennis Locorriere/Jay David)
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
