Chivalry is Dead

[Intro]

Hey, where are all the gentleman at?

[Chorus]

Chivalry is dead

But I am not ready to let it go, let it go

Chivalry is dead, but boy believe it that I need it so

I need it so

I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh

Gentle, gentle, gentleman

I need a man

I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh

Gentle, gentle, gentleman

Chivalry is dead but I am not ready to let it go

[Verse 1]

I want a man to bring home to mama

Got his game tight and there ain't no drama

Calls in the night

Ring, ring baby mama

Cheque comes, no, he ain't forgot that wallet

Rich man, poor man, hustler, whatever

Tough guys tough, but they never been clever

Don't be the butler, just have manners

Better put 'em on display or it ain't gon' happen

Boy, your jeans so baggy, baggy

You don't got to dress like Donald Trump

But your eligibleness

Could be the difference

Between a kiss

Or being invited up

I gotta have a gentleman

Open up the door and he holds my hand

I could have a thug, but it ain't no match

'Cause a thug can do what a gentleman can

[Bridge]

I'll teach you some manners, manners

I see you can manage, manage

Soften up the thuggish, thuggish

Polish up the rugged, rugged

I'll teach you some manners, manners

I see you can manage, manage

Soften up the thuggish, thuggish

Polish up the rugged, rugged

[Chorus]

Chivalry is dead

But I am not ready to let it go, let it go

Chivalry is dead, but boy believe it that I need it so

I need it so

I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh

Gentle, gentle, gentleman

I need a man

I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh

Gentle, gentle, gentleman

Chivalry is dead but I am not ready to let it go

[Verse 2]

Call my name

Don't call me babygirl

Girl? I thought I was your lady?

He should be sophisticated

Buy a magazine

Girl, read me Shakespeare

To be or not to be?

So manly, but curteously

These feminists got me doin' everything

Now we must be the alpha females

I want my apron back

I'll rub your back late, late at night

So baby just treat, treat me nice

You ain't polite?

You ain't my type!

Oh, I gotta have a gentleman

Open up the door and he holds my hand

I could have a thug, but it ain't no match

'Cause a thug can do what a gentleman can

[Bridge]

I'll teach you some manners, manners

I see you can manage, manage

Soften up the thuggish, thuggish

Polish up the rugged, rugged

I'll teach you some manners, manners

I see you can manage, manage

Soften up the thuggish, thuggish

Polish up the rugged, rugged

[Chorus]

Chivalry is dead

But I am not ready to let it go, let it go

Chivalry is dead, but boy believe it that I need it so

I need it so

I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh

Gentle, gentle, gentleman

I need a man

I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh

Gentle, gentle, gentleman

Chivalry is dead but I am not ready to let it go

[Verse 3]

Broken hearts, loneliness

Feminist, empowerment

Fatherless, abandonment

Ch-ch-chivalry is dead

Pump, pump

Quick, revive it!

Stop! It's flatlining!

Ch-ch-chivalry is dead

Long live the gentleman

[Chorus x2]

Chivalry is dead

But I am not ready to let it go, let it go

Chivalry is dead, but boy believe it that I need it so

I need it so

I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh

Gentle, gentle, gentleman

I need a man

I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh

Gentle, gentle, gentleman

Chivalry is dead but I am not ready to let it go
