Lyrics

It ain't fair for you to leave me
Cold and cryin' in the night
It ain't fair to take your body
From my arms and out of sight
It ain't fair you've gone and left me
Where you kissed me I still burn
Are you leaving for my loving
This awful hurt and then return?
It ain't fair for you to leave me
Alone to face the morning light
It ain't fair you took my body
And then to say that it ain't right
It ain't fair you've made me your woman
A no longer a good girl in your eyes
How come before you said you'd love me
It ain't fair that it ain't right
It just ain't fair that it ain't right
Written by: Bob Eggers, Jan Eggers
