The Roots - Look Around (Be a Man) lyrics

[Chorus] Look around, look around, look around And tell me what do you see? Mmm-mmm, yeah... Look around, look around, look around And tell me what you see? [Verse One: Betty Wright] Look, look at what cheating cost Look at what you have lost Now look at the stupid things That cost you your wedding ring Looking for friends, they're gone Looking for love and none shown Looks like our vows we've outgrown [Chorus] Look around, look around, look around And tell me what do you see? Well you won't see me, no! Look around, look around, look around And tell me what you see? Soon you won't see me [Verse Two: Betty Wright] Look, look through the real window Look how we were so close

You wanted me the most I know cause you used to boast Now look at this paper doll Suited to you and that's all Hard to watch a blessing turn into a curse And bad is getting worse, ohh! [Chorus] [Interlude] Be a man, tell me to my face I've been replaced Be a man, tell me to my face Be a man, tell me to my face I've been replaced Be a man, tell me to my face [Chorus] [Bridge: Betty Wright] I admit I might shed a few tears, huh But I'll get over it in the coming years In fact, I might go, I just might go fishin, well I just might go, window wishin, look ARROOUND, look around [Chorus] [Outro] You won't see me.. You won't see me.. I'm gon' get ghost, baby Bye-bye..
