Hey, hey Toni, it's me, I was just calling ya know
                                         Bm
Just calling to let you know, don't wait up for me tonight
A      D
I mean I just got a lot of things on my mind
           A
I gotta think about, you know
Just umm, I'll be over Brian's house
You know, just for tonight
  D                                       A
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 Braxton]
D                         A
Why you calling me on the phone
                  A            D A
Why you're not at home on time
D                                 A
You say you're staying over your friends
                                Bm  A
Cause you've got a lot on your mind
            D                                 A
Now you're swearing up and down that it ain't me
So you say that things have changed
    D                            A
So tell me what exactly does it mean
When you say you need your space
Bm                      D
Just don't make no excuses, no no

[Hook]
D                                  A
Why you gotta lie to me (Just be a man about it)
      D                          A
Baby, you don't gotta lie to me, no (Just be a man about it)
               D                               A
If you wanna leave (Why do you wanna leave) go on
(Just be a man about it)
                     D
Come and grab your things (So come and get your things and leave)
                 A
And go on right now, whoo (Just be a man about it)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I mean, you gotta understand I love you
You know what I'm saying
F#m                           A
And I love you enough to say that I think
                              D
I think you deserve somebody better than me, you know
A         D
And right now, I can't give you what you need, you know
                 Bm                A
I mean, I wanna love you and I'm gonna love you
One day but you know...
Bm                                            D
I mean, you just gotta understand where I'm coming from

[Toni Braxton]
          D                                   A
You say right now that you're not what I'm looking for
                                     Bm    A
And what you really need is time to grow
            D             F#m          Bm
You're promising that one day you may come around
          A          Bm       A
And I'm supposed to let that go
               D
But where the hell do you get off
                                  A             Bm A
Telling me your mama said I'm not what you need
         D
Tell you what, since she knows it all
A
Then that's where you need to be
Just don't make no excuses, no no

Come and grab your things (So come and get your things and leave)
                 A
And go on right now, whoo (Just be a man about it)

[Toni Braxton]
                 D
Can you tell me how
         A
You can say you're in love
And then treat me so bad
 G                A          D
Boy, you know it just ain't right
F#m         D                          E
I cannot believe the way you handled things
You want to lie
                D
If you were a man...
