Whitney Houston It's Not Right But It's OK

"Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
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 ok
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 ok
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy"

How can I laugh tomorrow...when I can't even smile today
ST

Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help but no one's around
Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all

Always an emotion, but how can I explain (how can I explain?)
Kind of like the scent of a rose
With words I can't explain, the same with my pain
Caught up in emotion, goes over my head! (goes over my head!)
Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death
Am I living or am I dead?

The clock keeps ticking, but nothing else seems to change
Problems never solved, just rearranged
And when I think about all the times that I've had
Some were good most were bad

I search for personality and I look for things I cannot see
Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find
Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true
Lies and hate and agony; thru my eyes that's all I see

If I'm gonna cry (will you wipe away my tears?)
And if I'm gonna die (Lord please take away my fear)
Before I drown in sorrow (I just want to say)
How will I laugh tomorrow when I can't even smile today?
(Today today) when I can't even smile today
(Today today) when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow (when I can't even smile today?)
How will I laugh tomorrow (when I can't even smile today?)

You think it's so funny...? Laugh at this!

So when I look outside my room, I see the world, but not the reason
What is done to me is not fair; you call it fair I call it treason
But I don't know what to do, give me a sign I'll take whatever
But if you want me here I am, ain't gonna die forever

And I tried to warn ya, but you just turned away
And I tried to tell ya, but not a word I say

Hmm, which one?

There's a mad one on the Slim Shady LP sung to Hailey where he's driving to a lake and dumping Kim's body.
