Lyrics

It's Not Right

Baby baby baby hurt me bad

Baby baby

Baby baby made me cry

Baby

I wanna die

Somebody tell me where she's hiding out

I gotta find that cheatin' gal

Can't go can't go can't go sleep at night

Can't sleep can't sleep

It's not right

Sunlight sunlight in my eyes

Sunlight

Makes me rise

I can't sleep until my baby says it's over

I gotta hear it face to face

I love you darlin' it's a cryin' shame

The way you run around like you're in a big game

I'm so unhappy I could cry every time I think about you

Boo hoo

Baby baby baby please come back

Baby baby

Sunlight sunlight in my eyes

Sunlight

Makes me rise

I can't sleep until my baby says it's over

I gotta hear it face to face

I love you darlin' it's a cryin' shame

The way you run around like you're in a big game

I shoot around in a trance all day and think about you

All the time

I love you darlin' it's a cryin' shame

The way you run around like you're in a big game

It's so unfair that you're so happy when I'm hurtin' inside

I love you darlin' it's a cryin' shame

The way you run around like you're in a big game

It's so unfair that you're so happy when I'm hurtin' inside

I love you darlin' it's a cryin' shame

The way you run around like you're in a big game

I'm so unhappy I could cry every time I think about you

Boo hoo
