Chivalry Is Dead

Hey where all the gentleman at?

[Chorus]
Chivalry is dead,
but I am not ready to let it go, let it go
Chivalry is dead before the living's gonna need a soul
I need a soul
I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh
gentle, gentle, gentle man,
I need a man
I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh
gentle, gentle, gentle man
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
of the kiss
are we invited of
I gotta have a gentleman
open up the door and he hold 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.
some can make you thugish, thugish
G'on and shake your rugged, rugged
I'll teach you some manners, manners
I see you can manage, manage.
some can make you thugish, thugish
G'on and shake your rugged, rugged

[Chorus]
Chivalry is dead,
but I am not ready to let it go, let it go
Chivalry is dead before the living's gonna need a soul
I need a soul
I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh
gentle, gentle, gentle man,
I need a man
I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh
gentle, gentle, gentle man
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 suffisticated
Buy a magazine
girl read me Shakesphere
To be or not to be?
So manly, but curteaously
These feminist 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 hold 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.
some can make you thugish, thugish
G'on and shake your rugged, rugged
I'll teach you some manners, manners
I see you can manage, manage.
some can make you thugish, thugish
G'on and shake your rugged, rugged

[Chorus]
Chivalry is dead,
but I am not ready to let it go, let it go
Chivalry is dead before the living's gonna need a soul
I need a soul
I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh
gentle, gentle, gentle man,
I need a man
I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh
gentle, gentle, gentle man
Chivalry is dead but I am not ready to let it go

[Verse 3]
Broken hearts, Loneliness
Feminist, Empowerment
Fatherless, Abandonment
Chi, Chi, Chivalry is Dead
Pump, Pump
Quick, revive it!
Stop! It's flatlining!
Chi, Chi, Chivalry is Dead
Long live the gentlemen

[Chorus]
Chivalry is dead,
but I am not ready to let it go, let it go
Chivalry is dead before the living's gonna need a soul
I need a soul
I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh
gentle, gentle, gentle man,
I need a man
I need a gentle, gentle, gentle oh
gentle, gentle, gentle man
Chivalry is dead but I am not ready to let it go
