I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
Yeah, alright, yeah, alright, yeah, alright
Yeah, alright, yeah, alright, yeah, alright
Yeah, alright, yeah, alright, yeah, alright
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 key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah
Ah, was it really worth you going out like that?
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, ah
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 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 key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, ah
I'm packing bags so you can leave town for a week
Yes, I am
The phone rings, and then you 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
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 key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah
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'm not a fool anymore (You don't stand no chance, boy)
I'm tired of having to reason with you (I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So don't 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, boy
Was it really worth, was it really worth
Was it really worth you going out like that?
Tell me, boy
See am 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, it turns out, oh
It turns out, oh, it turns out, it turns out, oh
It turns out. You were making a fool of me, oh
It's not right (It's not right), but it's okay (So okay)
I'm gonna make it anyway (I'm gonna, I'm gonna)
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come runnin' back to me
It's not right (It's not right), but it's okay (So okay, baby)
I'm gonna make it anyway (I can pay my own rent)
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
Oh, Lord, oh, ooh
Get up and leave, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
It's not right, it's okay, baby
I can pay my own rent
Pay my light bill, take care of my babies
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
