Frankie Justin – Gentle Man Lyrics

Verse
Heard my daddy often say
Sometimes more than once a day
Manners get you farther than
And attitude that’s bad

Daddy lived the words he said
Witnessed by the girl he with
Though I’m pushin twenty three
His wisdom isn’t lost on me

Chorus
Hold the door for a lady
Kiss your woman daily
And same goes for the babies
Know her spots or maybe’s
If things start gettin’ crazy
Always act humanely
I made the choice way back when
I would be a gentle man

Verse
Kelly’s lookin’ fine tonight
But she’s already with her guy
Looks like he could own the world
And have boastin’ a girl

When Kelly tries to speak her mind
He puts her down and drinks his wine
He’s cavalier as he could be
Why couldn’t she be with a man like me?

Pre-Chorus
I see it in her eyes
She’s ’bout to realize
I know her better than those other guys
And I’d get on one knee
If she’d come back to me
I think she knows how a life with me could be

Chorus
I’ll hold the door for my lady
Kiss my woman daily
Same goes for the babies
Know her spots or maybe’s
If things start gettin’ crazy
I’ll always act humanely
I made the choice way back when
I would be a gentle man
I would be a gentle man
