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...
