[* Rain and Thunder *]
[Dr. Dre]
Hey, hey hold up a minute
Let me stop up here and use this pay phnoe real quick
[* Telephone dialing * ] [* Sighs *]
Hey, hey Toni, it`s me, I was just calling ya 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`ma need some space
[Toni Braxton]
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
[Chorus]
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 (Why do you wanna leave) go on
(Just be a man about it)
Come and grab your things (So come and get your things and leave)
And go on right now, whoo (Just be a man about it)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Dr. Dre]
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
[Toni Braxton]
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
[Chorus]
Why you gotta lie to me (Just be a man about it)
(Baby you ain`t gotta lie to me, no no no)
Baby, you don`t gotta lie to me, no (Just be a man about it)
(If you wanna leave, go right now)
Why do you wanna leave (Just be a man about it)
(Come and get your things and go baby)
So come and get your things and leave (Just be a man about it)
[Toni Braxton]
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...
[Chorus to fade]
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, no no baby)
Why do you wanna leave (Just be a man about it)
(If you wanna go grab your things and leave now)
So come and get your things and leave (Just be a man about it)
(Don`t wanna stay, don`t wanna be no more lying)
(If you wanna go on and leave, just be a man about it)
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 whoo)
Why do you wanna leave (Just be a man about it)
So come and get your things and leave (Just be a man about it)
