Hey hey hold up a minute

Let me stop up here and use this pay phone real quick

Hey hey Toni it's me I was just calling you know

Just calling to let you know don't wait up for me tonight

I mean I just got a lot of things on my mind

I gotta think about you know

Just umm I'll be over brian's house

You know just for tonight

I mean I know things are different but you know

It's not you it's me you know it's really me you know

And basically I just think I'mma need some space

Why you calling me on the phone

Why you're not at home on time

You say you're staying over your friends

'Cause you've got a lot on your mind

Now you're swearing up and down that it ain't me

So you say that things have changed

So tell me what exactly does it mean

When you say you need your space

Just don't make no excuses no no

Just be a man about it

Baby you don't gotta lie to me no just be a man about it

If you wanna leave go on

Just be a man about it

Come and grab your things and go

Right now just be a man about it

I mean you gotta understand I love you

You know what I'm saying and

I love you enough to say that I think

I think you deserve somebody better than me you know

And right now I can't give you what you need you know

I mean I wanna love you and I'm gonna love you

One day but you know

I mean you just gotta understand where I'm coming from

You say right now that you're not what I'm looking for

And what you really need is time to grow

You're promising that one day you may come around

And I'm supposed to let that go

But where the hell do you get off

Telling me your mama said I'm not what you need

Tell you what since she knows it all

Then that's where you need to be

Just don't make no excuses no no

Just be a man about it

Baby you ain't gotta lie to me no no no no

Just be a man about it

If you wanna leave go right now

Just be a man about it

Come and get your things and go baby

Just be a man about it

Can you tell me how

You can say you're in love

And then treat me so bad

Boy you know it just ain't right

I cannot believe the way you handled things

You want to lie

If you were a man

Why you gotta lie to me just be a man about it

Just be a man about it baby

Just be a man about it

You ain't gotta lie to me no no baby

Just be a man about it

If you wanna go grab your things and leave now

Don't wanna stay don't wanna be no more lying

Just be a man about it

If you wanna go on and leave

But just be a man about it

You ain't gotta be here so leave no

Just be a man about it

Baby just be a man I can tell you wanna leave

Just be a man about it

So come and get your things and leave just be a man about it
