Be a man about it!

My heart's ringing like a telephone

Pick it up and dial in the answer

Oh I'm sick and tired of being alone

Let me know if love is what you're after



Just be a man about it

You don't have to worry

I won't turn you down

Just be a man about it

Oh don't complicate it

Let me know you'll be around



I took you from the number one

When you said you'd be with me forever

But I don't appreciate the cost that I am paying

For your being clever



So be a man about it

Oh don't complicate it

You don't have to lead me on

Just be a man about it

Just want you to love me right

You can't go wrong



If you just be a man about it

You don't have to worry

I won't turn you down

Just be a man about it

Oh don't complicate it

Let me know you'll be around



We could really have a good thing going

Though we don't know where it will lead

But we, we've got to keep the communication flowing

But that's not all I need

So won'tcha



Just be a man about it

You don't have to worry

I won't turn you down

Just be a man about it

Oh don't complicate it

Let me know you'll be around



So be a man about it

Oh don't complicate it

You don't have to lead me on

Just be a man about it

Just want you to love me right

You can't go wrong



You just be a man... (BREAK)



We could really have a good thing going

Though we don't know where it will lead

But we, we've got to keep the communication flowing

But that's not all I need

So won'tcha



Be a man about it
