It's Not Right But It's Ok

Toni Estes / Rodney Jerkins / LaShawn Daniels / Isaac Phillips / Fred Jerkins III

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

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, yeah (ah)

I'll pack a bag 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 ID? Oh

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 going to 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

Was it really worth you going out like that? (Tell me, boy)
See, I'm movin' on
And I refuse to turn back (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

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 running back to me (don't you dare, back to me, boy)

It's not right, but it's okay (it's not right, it's 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, it's 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, oh)

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)
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 running back to me (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 (ooh, ooh)
(There's no more tears left here for you to see)

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
