It's On
Cast Of Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 then four of you were really cheap
'Cause only two of you had dinner, I found your credit card receipt

It's not right but it's okay
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 okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah

I'll pack your bags so you can leave town for a week, yes I am
The phone rings and then you look at me
You said it was one of your friends down on Fifty-fourth St. boy
So why did two one three show up on your caller I.D.

It's not right but it's okay
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 okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah

I've been through all of this before (I've been through all this before)
So how could you think (don't think about me, don't think about it)
That I would stand around and take some more (get going, get gone)
Things are gonna change (things are gonna change baby)
'Cause I won't be a fool anymore (you don't stand no chance boy)
That's why you have to leave (I said yeah)
So don't turn around to see my face (don't you turn around)
There's no more tears left here for you to see
Was it really worth you going out like that, tell me

Was it really worth you going out like that
See I'm moving on
And I refuse to turn back, yeah
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for me
It turns out you were making a fool of me

It's not right but it's okay
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 okay
I'm gonna make it anyway




Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah
