Lyrics:

(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
