It’s Not Right But It’s Okay Lyrics by Whitney Houston
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, uh
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 (It’s not right, okay)
I’m gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I’d rather be alone than unhappy, yeah, uh
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 (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 I.D? 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 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, 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, oh
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 (Oh)
It’s not right but it’s okay (Sure, I’m okay)
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 (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, uh)
Pack your bags, up and leave (Pay my light bill, take care of my babies)
Don’t you dare come running back to me (Oh, oh, oh-woah)
It’s not right but it’s okay (It’s not right, okay)
I’m gonna make it anyway (Ooh, get up and leave)
Close the door behind you, leave your key (Yeah, 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
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 (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
It’s not right but it’s okay (It’s not right, okay)
I’m gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I’d rather be alone than unhappy
It’s not right but it’s okay
I’m gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
