you know damn well where he was last night
  it makes no sense everyday you fight
  makes me so mad what he puts you through
  when im the only man that's made for you
    why must i sit back and dry your tears (your tears)
  just get with me and ill erase your fears
    [chorus:]
  girl its about time to let him know
  you have a real man so he's got to go
  dont just have me in the background
  stop keepin him around
  its about time for him to leave
  with open arms you i will receive
  its about time to let him know
  that its about time to let him go
    girl im not scared of what he'll say to me
  he's not a man dont give in so easy
  girl understand just for you ill be
  ill work to jobs to supply your needs
    so must i sit back and dry your tears? (Dry your tears)
  come n' get with me and ill erase your fears
    [Chorus]
    im not like him girl ill never lie
  or make you cry
  i'll ease the pain and feelings down inside
    [Chorus]
