Gentleman's Promise

[Verse 1]
They say that chivalry is dead and gone But I'm here to prove them mighty wrong I don't wear a cape or a shiny suit But I know the way to the respectful root I walk on the street side, close to the cars I point out the beauty of the evening stars I don't push, I don't shove, I don't demand I just offer the comfort of a steady hand

[Chorus]
It's the Gentleman's Promise, simple and true To be a rock and a shelter for you Respect is the rhythm, kindness is the rhyme Working overtime, yeah, working overtime I'll open the door and I'll pull out the chair Show you that a good man is still standing there Not looking for a trophy, not looking for a prize Just looking for the happy in your beautiful eyes

[Verse 2]
I listen when you speak, I hear what you say I don't try to govern or rule the day A real man knows how to step aside And let his lady take the glory ride Protection ain't a prison, it's a safety net The best kind of loving that you're gonna get Old school manners with a brand new beat Dancing down the sunny side of the street

[Chorus]
It's the Gentleman's Promise, simple and true To be a rock and a shelter for you Respect is the rhythm, kindness is the rhyme Working overtime, yeah, working overtime I'll open the door and I'll pull out the chair Show you that a good man is still standing there Not looking for a trophy, not looking for a prize Just looking for the happy in your beautiful eyes

[Bridge]
After you. No, I insist. Allow me. To kiss your hand.

[Horn Section Solo - Swinging]

[Outro]
At your service. Anytime. Gentleman.
