Lyrics:[]
- Baby baby baby hurt me bad
Baby baby
Baby baby made me cry
Baby
I wanna die
- Somebody tell me where she's hiding out
I gotta find that cheatin' gal
Can't go, can't go, can't go sleep at night
Can't sleep can't sleep
It's not right
Sunlight sunlight in my eyes
Sunlight
Makes me rise
I can't sleep until my baby says it's over
I gotta hear it face to face
I love you darlin', it's a cryin' shame
The way you run around like you're in a big game
I'm so unhappy i could cry every time i think about you
Boo-hoo
- Baby baby baby, please come back
Baby baby
Sunlight-sunlight in my eyes
Sunlight
Makes me rise
I can't sleep until my baby says it's over
I gotta hear it face to face
I love you darlin' it's a cryin' shame
The way you run around like you're in a big game
I sit around in a trance all day and think about you
All the time
- I love you darlin', it's a cryin' shame
The way you run around like you're in a big game
It's so unfair that you're so happy when i'm hurtin' inside
- I love you darlin', it's a cryin' shame
The way you run around like you're in a big game
I'm so unhappy i could cry every time i think about you
Boo-hoo

- The demo "Dump Truck" reportedly developed into "It's Not Right". [1]
- (Additionally, Mark has said "Dump Truck" is a demo for "Girl U Want". Later, he said it may be a demo for "Whip It". [2])
- Mark's song "It's Not Right" started as "hillbilly art", with different drum and bass lines.
- (The place holder vocals may have begun with "Dump Truck", then changed to "Red Shark", and finally to "Ba-by, Ba-by...", when Mark's lyrics were combined with new lyrics from Jerry.)
