Gentleman Stripped
Gentleman Stripped: Unveiling the True Colors of Love
Lyrics
I know you think you've found the right guy
I acknowledge your belief that you've found the right partner
He seems so perfect from the outside
This person appears flawless from an external perspective
He's everything you could want and more but
He possesses all the qualities one could desire and more, but
I know his type
I recognize his character
I mat not be the man that you wanted
Although I might not be your ideal man
But I've just got to ask do you want this because
I must inquire if your desire for him is genuine, considering
He doesn't treat you like no gentleman should
He fails to treat you in the manner a gentleman should
He doesn't treat you the way I would
He doesn't treat you as I would
He doesn't treat you like no gentleman should
Reiteration: He falls short of treating you like a gentleman should
He doesn't treat you the way I would
Reiteration: His treatment doesn't align with how I would treat you
The way I could
I could treat you in a way that he cannot
Does he pay for everything on dates
Does he cover all expenses on dates?
Do the little things like hold doors and respect your space
Does he perform small gestures like holding doors and respecting your personal space?
Answer the phone in the middle of the night
Does he answer the phone late at night when you're overthinking?
When you're overthinking everything in life
Especially when life becomes overwhelming
I may not be the man you wanted
Even though I may not match your ideal
But I just got to ask do you want this because
I need to understand if your attraction is genuine, considering
He doesn't treat you like no gentleman should
He lacks the behavior expected from a gentleman
He doesn't treat you the way I would
His treatment doesn't align with my approach
He doesn't treat you like no gentleman should
Reiteration: He doesn't adhere to the standards of a gentleman
He doesn't treat you the way I could
Reiteration: He doesn't treat you as I would
The way I could
I have the capacity to treat you in a way that he cannot
He smokes you don't for a start
He has a smoking habit, contrasting with your non-smoking lifestyle
Seems a little bit rough if I'm honest sweetheart
He may seem a bit rough, honestly, my dear
He's the type of guy who will come and go
He is the type to come and go, taking without providing understanding
Take everything you want and nothing you know
He takes what he wants without considering your feelings
And when he leaves you'll come running back to me
When he leaves, you may come back to me
And I'll say these words baby please
At that moment, I will implore you with these words: "baby, please"
He doesn't treat you like no gentleman should
He continues to fall short in treating you as a gentleman should
He doesn't treat you the way I would
His treatment doesn't align with how I would treat you
He doesn't treat you like no gentleman should
Reiteration: He lacks the conduct expected from a gentleman
He doesn't treat you the way I would
Reiteration: He doesn't treat you as I would
The way I could
I have the capacity to treat you in a way that he cannot
The way I could
I have the potential to treat you in a way that he cannot
