Gentlemen aren't nice
Once upon a time I thought:
"What's the one thing I haven't got?
There's not a single thing in this world I couldn't buy."
That's when a gentleman caught my eye.
Once or twice we went around,
but now I'll tell you the thing I've found:
You shouldn't make your move until you know the price,
because gentlemen aren't nice.
Just because I won't agree to take his arm
and I occasionally forget his name
he likes to call inclemency what I call charm,
but I know they're all the same.
I think I've realized my first mistake
when he cried that his heart would break.
I would have thought that I was worth the sacrifice,
but gentlemen aren't nice.
Just because I leave him all alone for days
and go about with others of his kind
he dares complain about my evil ways,
and drive me out of my - out of my mind.
What I relate is hard to bear,
I only endure it so that I might spare you ladies.
I'm not known for my good advice,
but gentlemen aren't ...
So agreeable.
Love ain't a paradise,
and if I told you once, I won't tell you twice.
Gentlemen aren't nice,
gentlemen aren't nice.
