The Roots
Look Around (Be a Man)
[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..
