Lyrics Just Be a Man About It (Radio Edit) - Toni Braxton

Hey, hey, hold up a minute
Let me stop up here and use this payphone real quick
Hey, hey, Toni, it′s me, I was just callin', you know
Just callin′ to let you know
Don't wait up for me tonight
Why you callin' me on the phone?
Why you not at home on time?
You say you′re stayin′ over your friends
'Cause you′ve got alot on your mind
Now you're swearin′ up and down that it ain't me
Still 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
Why you gotta lie to me?
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 (I can tell you wanna leave), go on now
Just be a man about it
Come and grab your things and go on right now
Just be a man about it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
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, yeah
Why you gotta lie to me? (No, no, yeah)
Just be a man about it
Baby, you ain′t gotta lie to me, no, no, no
Just be a man about it
If you wanna leave (I can tell you wanna leave), go on 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 this
You wouldn′t 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)
You don't gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it
You ain′t gotta lie to me (I can tell you wanna leave), no, no, baby
Just be a man about it
If you wanna go grab your things and leave now
So come and get your things and leave (Don't wanna stay)
(Don′t wanna be no more lying)
Just be a man about it
(If you wanna go on and leave)
Why you gotta lie to me?
Just be a man about it
(You ain't gotta be here so leave, no)
You don't gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it
(Baby, just be a man, woo)
