I'M FINDING IT HARDER TO BE A GENTLEMAN


Well I'm finding it harder
  to be a gentleman every day
   all the manners that I've been taught
     have slowly died away
      but if I held the door open for you
        it wouldn't make your day

You think that I care
  about me and only me
    when every single girl needs help
     climbing up a tree
      well I know it don't take much
       to satisfy me

Maybe it's whatever's in my head
   that's distracting me
     but if i could find emotion
       to stimulate devotion
           well then you'd see

Well I'm finding it hard to say
    that I need you twenty times a day
       I feel comfortable so baby why
           don't you feel the same?
             have a doctor come and visit us
               and tell us which one is sane

I'd never said I wouldn't
   throw my jacket in the mud for you
      but my father gave it to me so
        maybe I should carry you
          then you said
            you almost dropped me
              so then I did
         and I got mud on my shoes
