[00:04.64]there's a time,
[00:06.29]when you gotta man up.
[00:08.16]And you might even know how to say it,
[00:11.07]well, all you gotta do is play her this.
[00:13.39]Tell her "Sit down for minute, let me talk to you.
[00:18.02]" Better yet, say "Baby, stand up,
[00:20.10]and let me get on one knee and explain.")
