Lyrics
Act Nice And Gentle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where'd you get those fancy clothes?
Where'd you get those, goodness knows...
Just show some civility.
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
I don't need no luxury...
as long as you are understanding.
I'm not difficult to please.
Act nice, and gentle to me.
I am the kind of guy
who likes to take you as I found you.
Throw away your false eye lashes.
Act nice, act nice to me.
Hold my hand.
And understand.
Act nice.
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
Hold my hand.
Understand.
and gentle to me
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
