Chorus:
  Bb                F                Eb          Bb    
  You ain't got the right to tell me I'm not lonely 
  Bb             Eb                   F  
  You don't understand what I've been through 
  Bb           F               Eb                 Bb
  He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me 
      Eb                           F
  But that don't make it easier to lose 
     Eb                           Bb
  No that don't make it easier to lose 

Verse 1:
    Bb             Eb                              Bb 
  I woke up Monday morning with the feeling he was gone  
                          Eb                F   
  And I turned to face an empty place and I realized 
         Eb              Bb                 Dm                  Gm7
  That I didn't smell no coffee and all his pretty clothes were gone 
              Ab                                    F
  I cried the first of the many tears you'll see me crying from now on 
  

Chorus:

  And you ain't got the right to tell me I'm not lonely 
  You don't understand what I've been through 
  He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me 
  But that don't make it easier to lose 
  No that don't make it easier to lose 


Verse 2:

  I know his list of lovers was just as long as mine 
  But the sometime friend of a natural woman is to settle down 
  But the one time ways of that man have done busted up my mind 
  Now he's out the door, he's got one more on his list than I got on mine 


Chorus

Verse 3:

  Well, it's gonna be a long time before I pass this way again 
  I've been dragged through school and I've learned the rules and it seems to me 
  That a man'll love to fool ya and he won't always fool you nice 
  Yes he had his turn, I guess I've learned and no he ain't gonna fool me twice 

Chorus:
  And you still ain't got the right to tell me I'm not lonely 
  You don't understand what I've been through 
  He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me 
  But that don't make it easier to lose 
  No that don't make it easier to lose
