Lyrics
Gentleman
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.
I let the door, Hit you right in the face,
And when the cheq comes I'll make you pay.
Don't have a car, guess your picking me up,
And in the back seat we'll be falling in love.
My only job is... To lye on this coach,
And while your workin' I'll be hanin' out.
Now don't get mad cause you knew from the start,
I was an asshole who would never go far.
Cause when you really get to girls,
Give them your entire world,
They end up walking away.
(Hey, Hey)
They don't want a standard guy, rather have you cheat and lie,
And do something they hate...
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They say they do but in the end,
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They want a loser like me.
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
If you want to get to them,
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They want a loser like me.
Your parents cry when you bring me around,
They raised you up just, so I can take you down.
There goes your life right before their eyes,
Bear foot brained, going out of your mind.
Cause when you really get to girls,
Give them your entire world,
They end up walking away.
(Hey, Hey)
They don't want a standard guy, rather have you cheat and lie,
And do something they hate.....
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They say they do but in the end,
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They want a loser like me.
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
If you want to get to them,
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They want a loser like me.
I used to be a nice guy,
But that don't get you anywhere.
So now I'm just a piece of shit, idiot,
Whose to stupid to care.
If you treat a girl with respect,
Treat her like shes' the best,
Your nothing to her.
She'd rather have you playing games,
Piss her off and make her wait,
If you want it to work...
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They say they do but in the end,
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They want a loser like me.
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
If you want to get to them,
Girls don't want a gentlemen,
They want a loser like me. [x2]
(They want a loser like me) [x2]
