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.
