She's been gone away too long
In fact eight weeks tonight
Don't ya think I've got a right to cry
She just walked right out the door
She didn't say goodbye
Ah, don't you think I've got a right to cry

Lovin' her gives me the right
To miss her like I do
And it gives me a right to be
As blue as I want to
I don't want too much of this
My heart's about to die
Ah, don't you think I've got 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've tried
Ah, don't you think I've got a right to cry
