you got no right

i got lonely sometime

you were gone and left

like you always do

you were never there

when i needed some care

you were never there when i needed somebody to talk to

somebody came and took your place. oh! baby

somebody took my place

in your heart i can say

i'm used to it

by now

'cause it happens all the time

that is one test i always fail

but one thing my heart can't

understand. who's gonna take

the place of this boy in my heart

we used to play together

do everything together

but now what am i gonna say

you've got no right

to call me father

i've got no right

to call you son

you got no right to talk to me

i've got no right to talk to you

even though i try so hard

to be strong

but it hurts inside. as i pack my bags

to go now baby i thought

i could share this with you

the next time you fall in love

treat your woman right

remember that her place

is not only in the kitchen

all she needs is tender

loving care.
