Content
The song's narrator tells his significant other's ex-boyfriend that it was his fault that she had left him and that it's too late to get her back. He states that they should have a conversation "man to man."
Critical reception
Rick Cohoon of Allmusic in his review, states that the lyrics are "harsh and realistic" but "maybe a bit too glib for Allans good." Cohoon states that "You want her back, and its too late/why dont we call a spade a spade summarizes the songs tone, but comes across as too abrasive." He states that the writing makes it seem like the situation could have happened to the writer, Jamie O'Hara. Allmusic: "Man to Man" review
