Hey baby
Damn
You know damn well where he was last night
It makes no sense every day you fight
Makes me so mad what he puts you through
When I'm the only man that's made for you
Why must I sit back and dry your tears?
(Dry your tears)
Just get with me and I'll erase your fears
Girl, it's about time to let him know
You've got a real man so he's got to go
Don't just have me in the background
Stop keeping him around
It's about time for him to leave
With open arms, you I will receive
It's about time to let him know
That it's about time to let him go
Girl, I'm not scared of what he'll say to me
Uh, uh
He's not a man, don't give in so easy
Girl, understand, just for you I'll be
I'll work two jobs to supply your needs
So must I sit back and dry your tears?
(Dry your tears)
Come and get with me and I'll erase your fears
Girl, it's about time to let him know
You've got a real man so he's got to go
(Gotta leave you.)
Don't just have me in the background
(Have me in the background.)
Stop keeping him around. (Stop keeping him around.)
It's about time for him to leave. (Oh, oh.)
With open arms, you I will receive. (You I will receive.)
It's about time to let him know
That it's about time to let him go
I'm not like him, girl
I'll never lie or make you cry
I'll ease the pain and feelings down inside
Girl, it's about time to let him know (Oh.)
You've got a real man so he's got to go. (He's got to go.)
Don't just have me in the background
(Have me in the background, honey.)
Stop keeping him around. (I don't wanna be alone.)
It's about time for him to leave. (Gotta leave you.)
With open arms, you I will receive. (I will receive you.)
It's about time to let him know (Time to let him know)
That it's about time to let him go
Let him go, let him go
Let him go, let him go
Time to let him go
Let him go, let him go
Let him go, let him go
(Time to let him go.) It's about time to let him know
That it's about time to let him go
It's about time to let him know (Let him know.)
You've got a real man so he's got to go. (Let him go.)
Don't just have me in the background
(Don't have me in the background.)
Stop keeping him around. (Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
It's about time for him to leave. (Time for him to leave you.)
With open arms, you I will receive. (My open arms receive you.)
It's about time to let him know (Time to let him go.)
That it's about time to let him go. (Time to let him go. Ooooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
Let him go, let him go
(Let him go, let him go.)
You've got a good man right here by your side
(Time to let him go.) Don't have me in the background
