[Verse 1]
It ain't fair for you to leave me cold and crying in the night
It ain't fair to take your body from my arms and out of sight
It ain't fair you've gone and left me, where you kissed me I still burn
Are you leaving for my loving this awful hurt and then return?

[Verse 2]
It ain't fair for you to leave me alone to face the morning light
It ain't fair you took my body and then to say that it is not right
It ain't fair you've made me your woman a no longer a good girl in your eyes
How come before you said you'd love me? It ain't that it is not right
It just ain't fair that it is not right

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
