DR, DRE: Hey, hey, hold up a minute.
Let me stop up here and use this pay phone real quick.
(Dialing; phone ringing)
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 mmmm...
I'll be over at Brian'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 and basically, I just think I'm-a need some space.

Why you calling me on the phone?
Why you not at home on time?
You say you're staying over at your friend's,
'Cause you've got a lot on your mind.
Now you're swearing up and down and that ain't me.
So you say that things have changed.
So tell me exactly what does that 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.
(Baby, you ain't gotta lie to me.)
Just be a man about it.
If you wanna leave, go on now.
(I can tell you wanna leave.)
Just be a man about it.
Come and grab your things and go right now.
(So come and get your things and leave.)
Just be a man about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.

DR. DRE: I mean, you gotta understand I love you, you know what I'm saying?
And I love you to say I think, I think you deserve somebody better than me, you know.
I mean, I 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 I'm not what you're looking for
And what you really need is time to grow.
You're promising that one day you'll come around
And I'm supposed to let that go.
But where the hell do you get off
Telling me your mama said that 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.
(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, no.
(Baby, you ain't gotta lie to me.)
Just be a man about it.
If you wanna leave, go right now.
(I can tell you wanna leave.)
Just be a man about it.
Come and grab your things and go, baby.
(So come and get your things and leave.)
(Just be a man about it.) Oooh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Can you tell me how can you say you're in love
And then treat me so bad?
Boy, you know that just ain't right.
I can't believe the way you handled things.
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.
(Baby, you ain't gotta lie to me.)
Just be a man about it.
You ain't gotta lie to me, no, no, no, baby.
(I can tell you wanna leave.)

If you wanna go, grab your things and leave now.
Don't wanna say it, don't wanna be in no more lying.
(So come and get your things and leave.)
Just be a man about it.
If you wanna go on and leave, yeah.
(Why you gotta lie to me?)
Just be a man about it.
You ain't gotta be here, so leave, no.
(Baby, you ain't gotta lie to me.)
Just be a man about it.
Baby, just be a man, oooh, oooh, oooh.
