Friday night, you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out, but you came home around 3, yes you did!
If six of y'all went out,
Then four of you were really cheap,
'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 keys!
I'd rather be alone than unhappy!
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 ID?
(Repeat Chorus)
(I've been through all of this before!)
I've been through all this before!
(So how could you think)
Don't think about, don't think about it!
(That I would stand around and take some more?)
Get going, get going!
(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!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
(So don't you 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!
See, I'm moving on, and I refuse to turn back!
See, all of this time I thought I had somebody down for Whitney!
It turns out you were making a fool of me!
(It's not right, but it's okay!)
Sho 'nuff okay!
(I'm gonna make it anyway!)
Make it anyway!
(Pack your bags up and leave!)
Pack your bags! Get up 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, it's okay!
(I'm gonna make it anyway!)
I'm gonna... I'm gonna...
(Close the behind you, leave your keys!)
Close the door, and leave your keys!
(I'd rather be alone than unhappy!)
Rather be alone than unhappy!
(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, pay my light bill, take care of my babies!
Oh, Lord!
Get up and leave!
I'd rather be alone than unhappy!
I'm gonna be okay!
I'm gonna be alright!
