D                   A
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

Dr. Dre:
D
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

        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)

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

If you were a man...
