Haves And Have Nots

Somebody
making me
unsatisfied

They say it
never can happen
Only I can do that

They never been me
or my like
Never watched me lose

Never watched how 
things were taken away
or denied

Somebody
making me
unsatisfied

You say
it isn’t true
Only I can do that

You say
a lot of things
that leave me that way

You do it
Leave me
that way

Someday
I won’t be
and I won’t have to ask

who did it to you
because
you and I will both know

Difference is
I’ll own it and
gladly
