Tres Carter featuring Taelor Gray & Christon Gray – “Return of the Gentleman”
(intro)
*clears throat* Ladies & gentlemen, we are not starting anything, we bringing it back. Let’s go!
(hook) x2
Chivalry ain’t dead nah, don’t believe the lie
It's the return of the gentleman, treatin’ women like the queens they are
(verse 1 – Tres Carter)
We open up doors round here
Help take off her Dior round here, hang it up
Then we pullin’ out chairs round here
Ladies don't settle for less, make ya man step it up
If he can’t download that you should upgrade
You don’t need a mac that can only play games
Little boys cuffin’ many toys to the bed frame
but a real man please one woman for decades
Type of man you aint seen in a while
No traffic on the extra mile
So we take that, show appreciation
Not waiting for special occasions
(hook) x2
(verse 2 – Taelor Gray)
This a crash course, your own cram session
Grown man lesson, 'for you ask
'
For you pass gotta see her as she is
Then embellish opportunity don’t leave her how she is
I stay away from clichés; get her off that stripper pole
808's and freeze frames, look at what that picture holds
These daughters of the King man, she ain’t just a screen saver
Voluntary servitude, you treat her like your dream lady
I’m shaking hands with your pops, this your momma, how you doing?
Nah, I ain’t tryna hide, Ima show you how I do it
Then I take you out to dinner and I'm paying for the table
Then I’m giving you the chance just to study my behavior, yup
(hook) x2
(verse 3 – Christon Gray)
Mrs. Amazing, if this was meant to be, then it is and we don't know it yet
So I'll be slow step striding lookin’ fly in my soldier vest
You been waitin’ in line in the coldest dress
But I ain't here to take you nowhere you don't wanna go gir
I
I ain't tryna getchu in the bed and make ya toes curl
Keep ya clothes on, love waits, never hurry, set a date
Never worry, won't be late, if I said 8 it's 7:30, uh
Darling, after all the dining and listening and gazing, the time must come
When I see the I misses misbehaving, but I won't run
Cause this where I belong and the long run
,
It's meant for pacing, Mrs. Amazing, meant to be
(Tres Carter)
Mr. Gentleman, stand up
If you with me put your hands up
Mr. Gentleman, stand up
Ladies, if you with me put your hands up
(repeat)
