It's Not Right but It's Okay Lyrics
[00:09.73] Friday night you and your boys went out to eat, uhhh
[00:16.82] Then they hung out
[00:19.91] But you came home around three, yes you did
[00:24.24] If six of y'all went out, ah
[00:26.96] Then four of you were really cheap, yeah
[00:31.82] Cause only two of you had dinner
[00:33.62] I found your credit card receipt
[00:36.53] It's not right
[00:38.42] But it's okay
[00:40.37] I'm gonna make it anyway
[00:44.12] Pack your bags up and leave
[00:48.03] Don't you dare come running back to me
[00:51.83] It's not right
[00:53.88] But it's okay
[00:55.55] I'm gonna make it anyway
[00:59.29] Close the door behind you, leave your key
[01:02.54] I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah, uh
[01:08.19] I'll pack your bags, so you can leave town for a week
[01:13.07] Yes I am
[01:15.39] The phone rings
[01:19.29] And then you look at me
[01:21.50] (Why'd you turn and look at me?)
[01:22.93] You said it was one of your friends
[01:27.47] Down on 54th Street, boy
[01:31.56] So why did 213,
[01:33.96] Show up on your Caller I.D.? Oh
[01:37.41] I've been through all of this before
[01:39.54] So how could you think (Don't think about it, don't think about it)
[01:44.92] That I would stand around and take some more (Get gone, get gone)
[01:47.77] Things are gonna change (Things are going to change, baby)
[01:52.01] Cause I've been through all this before
[01:54.85] That's why you have to leave (Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[01:59.58] So don't turn around to see my face (Don't you turn around)
[02:03.03] There's no more tears left here for you to see
[02:09.69] Was it really worth you going out like that?
[02:13.05] Tell me, oh
[02:16.56] See I'm moving on
[02:19.42] And I refuse to turn back
[02:24.19] See all of this time
[02:27.77] I thought I had somebody down for me
[02:31.39] It turns out
[02:33.61] You were making a fool of me, ohhh
[02:37.50] It's not right
[02:38.72] But it's okay
[02:40.50] I'm gonna make it anyway (Make it anyway)
[02:44.36] Pack your bags up and leave (Get up and leave)
[02:47.92] Don't you dare come running back to me (Back to me boy)
[02:52.63] It's not right (It's not right)
[02:54.25] But it's okay (It's okay)
