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
