(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
