It's Not Right But It's Okay

Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
then they hung out
but you came home around three
(yes you did)
if six of y'all went out
then 4 of you were really cheap (yeah)
cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt

Chorus:
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
pack your bag, up and leave
don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
close the door behind you
leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy yeah uh

I'll pack your bags
so you can leave town for a week
yes I am
The phone rings
and then you look at me
(why'd turn and look at me)
Said it was one of your friends
down on 54th street boy
so why did 213 show up on your caller id

Choristes (Whitney)
I've been through all this before
(I've been through all this before)
So how could you think
(don't think about it, don't think about it)
That I would stand around
And take some more

(get gone, get gone)
Things are gonna change
(things have got to change baby)
Cause I won't be a fool anymore
(don't stand no chance boy)
That's why you have to leave
(say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
So don't turn around to see my face
(don't you turn round)
There's no more tears left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that
Tell me, ooh
See I'm movin on, and I refuse to turn back yeah
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for Whitney
It turns out, you were making a fool of me

Chorus - Ad lib:
It's not right, but it's okay
showed up okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
make it anyway
pack your bags, get up and leave
don't you dare, back to me boy
It's not right, it's okay
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
close the door
and leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

It's not right, it's okay
I can pay my own rent
pay my light bill, take care of my babies
oh, oh, ooooooh
oh, get up and leave
yeah, rather be alone than unhappy

I'm gonna be ok, I'm gonna be alright
