Gentleman Lyrics
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
A real husband is so 1999, so hard for a girl to find (what?)
Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it
And then they wonder why most girls just spit it
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
You're not a lady if you're always on your knees
Shouldn't have to beg a gentleman, so please be gentle, please
Oh-oh-oh-oh, you're beautiful, oh-oh-oh-oh, I hope you know
He over-compensates by buying you fancy cars
Just to cover up the fact that he stays out all night in bars
Oh-oh-oh-oh, if you can't see, then maybe he's not meant to bei
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
A real husband is so 1999, so hard for a girl to find (what?)
Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it
And then they wonder why most girls just spit it
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
You had his baby, so you might got him for now
He already had the milk, so why would he go buy the cow?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, your chance is slim especially when I'm lying next to him
I wouldn't marry him, no, not if I were you
Cause if he's been cheating on me, then he'll probably cheat on you
Oh-oh-oh-oh, your chance is slim, especially when, he's lying next to them
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
A real husband is so 1999, so hard for a girl to find, what
Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it
And then they wonder why most girls just spit it
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
Don't get me wrong, I know that
Most girls ain't perfect angels
I'll let you taste my rainbow
You could at least be faithful
A gentleman, with a 9 to 5
A real husband so 1999
A gentleman, with a 9 to 5
A real husband so 1999
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
A real husband is so 1999, so hard for a girl to find (what?)
Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it
And then they wonder why most girls just spit it
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
I need a Ryan Gosling, I need a Robert Pattinson
Somebody I can take to Mama, I need to find my Obama
I need a Jonas Brother and, how about a Denzel Washington?
I need a Kellen Lutz, and a Channing Tatum, throw 'em my way, I'll date 'em
I need a Drake, I need a Ludacris, I need a Wheezy, I don't care who he is
I heard 'em say "I need a Kanye, he ain't a gentleman, but I'll have him anyway"
George Clooney, Lamar Odom, Larry King, I like 'em older
All the gentleman from all around the world, holla at me, holla at me, let me be your girl
A gentleman, 9 to 5
A real husband 1999
A gentleman, 9 to 5
A real husband 1999

"if you can't see, then maybe he's not meant to be" - referring to the fact that guys who manipulate can only have effective relationships with women who know full well they are trying to manipulate them and play them at their own game, but women who can't see it won't ever make it work.
