Toni Braxton f/ Dr. Dre - Just Be A Man About It


 

[Dre]
I mean, I just got a lot of things on my mind
I gotta think about it, ya know?
Just um, I'll be over at Bryan's house
You know, just for the night
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

[Toni]
Why you callin' me on the phone?
Why you not at home, home, ah
You say you're stayin' over at your friends
Cuz you got a lot on your mind
Now you're swearin' 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

(Chorus)
Why you gotta lie to me?
Just be a man about it
You don't gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it

I can tell you wanna leave
Just be a man about it
So come on, get your things and leave
Just be a man about it

[Dre]
Baby, you gotta understand I love you
Know what I'm sayin'
And I love you enough to say that 
I think, I think you deserve someone better than me, you know?
And right now, I can't give you what you need, you know?
I mean, I wanna love you, but 
I'm gonna love you one day, but
You know, I mean you just gotta understand where I'm comin' from

[Toni]
You say right now that you're not what I'm lookin' 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 tellin' me
Your mama said I'm not what you need
I'll tell you what, since she knows it all
Then that's where you need to be
Just don't make no excuses

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Can you tell me how you can say 
You love me then treat me so bad
Boy, you know it just ain't right
I cannot believe the way you handle things
You don't gotta lie, baby, to me


(REPEAT CHORUS)
