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
