She's been gone away too long

In fact eight weeks tonight

Don't you think I've got a right to cry



She just walked right out the door

She didn't say good-bye

Oh don't you think I got a right to cry



Loving her gives me the right to miss her

Like I do

And it gives me the right to be

As blue as I want to



I don't want too much of this

My heart is about to die

Oh don't you think I've go a right to cry



She walked off and left me

With a great big bunch of hurt

And don't you know she walked on me

Like I was so much dirt



What a lousy way to thank me

After how I tried

Oh don't you think I got a right to cry
