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 I'm the only man that's made for you      Why must I sit back and dry your tears?   Just get with me and I'll erase your fears      Girl it's about time to let him know   You have a real man so he's got to go   Don't just have me in the background   Stop keepin' 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 you   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?   Come an' get with me and I'll erase your fears      Girl it's about time to let him know   You have a real man so he's got to go   Don't just have me in the background   Stop keepin' 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      I'm not like him girl, I'll never lie   I'll ease the pain the feelings down inside      It's about time to let him know   You have a real man so he's got to go   Don't just have me in the background   Stop keepin' 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      Let him go, let him go   Let him go, let him go   Let him go, 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   You have a real man so he's got to go   Don't just have me in the background   Stop keepin' him around      It's about time for him to leave   With open arms you I will receive   It's about time
