Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out
But you came home around 3, yeah
If six of y'all went out, then four of you were really cheap, yeah
'Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt
[Verse 2]
It's not right but it's okay, I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and and leave
And 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
[Verse 3]
I'll pack your bags so you can leave town for a week
Yes, I am
The phone rings and then you look at me
You said that it was one of your friends, down on 54th Street, boy
So why did two-one-three show up on your caller ID?
[Verse 4]
It's not right but it's okay, I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and 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
[Verse 5]
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)
(Things have got to change)
Things have got to change, baby
[Verse 6]
('Cause I won't be your fool anymore)
You don't stand no chance, boy
(That's why you have to leave)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(So don't turn around to see my face)
There's no more tears left here for you to see
Was it really worth you going out like that, tell me?
[Verse 7]
Was it really worth you going out like that?
See I'm moving on
And I refuse to turn 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
[Verse 8]
It's not right but it's okay, I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and 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, oh
