It's Not Right But It's Okay

[Verse 1]

Friday night, you and your boys went out to eat, oh

Then they hung out

But you came home around three

Yes, you did

If six of y'all went out, ah

Then four 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 bags, up and leave

Don't you dare come runnin' 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 (Ah)

[Verse 2]

I'm packing bags so you can leave town for a week

Yes, I am

The phone rings, and then you look at me

Why'd you turn and look at me?

You said it was one of your friends, down on 54th Street, boy

So why did 213 show up on your Caller I.D.? Oh

[Breakdown]

I've been through all of 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 are gonna change, baby

'Cause I won't be a fool anymore

You don't stand no chance, boy

That's why you have to leave

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So don't turn around to see my face

Don't you turn around

There's no more tears left here for you to see

[Verse 3]

Was it really worth you going out like that? (Tell me, boy)

See, I'm movin' on

And I refuse to turn back, yeah (Back, 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, oh

[Chorus]

It's not right, but it's okay

Sho 'nuff okay, ha

I'm gonna make it anyway

Make it anyway

Pack your bags, up and leave

Pack your bags, get out and leave

Don't you dare come runnin' back to me

Don't you dare, back to me, boy

It's not right, but it's okay

It's not right, so okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, ah

Close the door behind you, leave your key

Close the door, and leave your key

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

I'd rather be alone than unhappy, oh

It's not right, but it's okay

It's not right, so okay, baby

I'm gonna make it anyway

I can pay my own rent

Pack your bags, up and leave

Pay my light bill, take care of my babies

Don't you dare come runnin' back to me

Oh, oh, oh-whoa

It's not right, but it's okay

Oh, lord

Oh-oh-oh, ooh

I'm gonna make it anyway

Get up and leave

Close the door behind you, leave your key

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

It's not right, but it's okay

I'm gonna be okay

I'm gonna be alright

I'm gonna make it anyway

I'm gonna be okay

I'm gonna be alright

Pack your bags, up and leave

I'm gonna be okay

I'm gonna be alright

Don't you dare come runnin' back to me

(Things are gonna change)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

('Cause I won't be a fool anymore)

It's not right, but it's okay

I'm gonna be okay

I'm gonna be alright

I'm gonna make it anyway

I'm gonna be okay

I'm gonna be alright

Close the door behind you, leave your key

I'm gonna be okay

I'm gonna be alright

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

(There's no more tears left here for you to see)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Outro]

It's not right, but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags, 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

It's not right, but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway
