That's Right
DJ OPTICAL the M.N.B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You told me baby, once upon a time
You said if I would be yours, you would sure be mine
That's alright
I know you don't love me no more baby, but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight

You told me baby, your love for me was strong
When I woke up little girl, half of this big world was gone
That's alright
I guess I'll never be the same but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight

(spoken: Play the blues for me Freddie King!)

Please tell me baby, what's getting wrong with you?
You don't treat me halfway right baby, look a like you used to do
But that's alright




I guess I'll never be the same but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight
