It's Not Right But It's Okay by Whitney Houston (Thunderpuss Remix) is featured in Dance with Somebody, the seventeenth episode of Season Three. It is sung by Blaine, with the New Directions singing back-up.
Blaine sings this after an argument with Kurt, accusing him of cheating with Chandler. During the performance, scenes in the choir room are intertwined with a remake of the music video with the same table, dancers and the New Directions members except Kurt, Puck, Sugar, and Rory, who are singing in the background behind Blaine.
Lyrics[]
Blaine:
Friday night you and your boys went out to eat (Ohh)
Then they hung out
But you came home around three, yes you did
If six of y'all went out (ah)
Then four of you were really cheap
'Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt
Blaine with New Directions:
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
Blaine:
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 54th Street, boy
So why did 2-1-3
Blaine with New Directions:
Show up on your caller ID? (Blaine: Oh)
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
New Directions Girls (Blaine):
I have been through all of this before
(I've been through all this before)
So how would you think
(Don't think about, don't think about it)
That I could stand around and take some more?
(Get goin', get goin')
Things are gonna change
(Things are goin' to change baby)
'Coz I don't wanna be a fool anymore
(You don't stand no chance boy)
That's why you have to leave
(I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh)
So don't turn around to see my face
(Don't turn around!)
Blaine with New Directions:
There's no more tears left here
For you to see
Blaine:
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 (Blaine with New Directions Girls: Yeahh)
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for me
It turns out
New Directions:
You were making a fool of me, yeah!
New Directions (Blaine):
(Ah, Ah, Yeah, Ah)
It's not right, (It's not right) but it's okay (It's okay)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna, I'm gonna) make it anyway (Yeahhh)
Pack your bags, (Close the door) up and leave (And leave your keys)
Don't you dare (I'd rather be alone than unhappy) come running back to me
It's not right, (It's not right) but it's okay (It's okay, baby)
I'm gonna make it (I can pay my own rent) anyway
(I can pay my own rent)
Close the door (Pay my light bills) behind you
Leave your key (Take care my business)
I'd rather be alone
(Oh, oh)
Than unhappy
(Ohhh)
