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
