Intro

 If you ever need to cry...

 I'll wipe the tears right from your eyes.

 Oh yes, I will.

 If you can't fall asleep at night...

 I'll sing to you a lullaby.

 Oh yes, I will.

(Chorus)

 Can I be your gentlemen?

 I'll be as gentle as I can.

Girl, what will it take?

 To be your gentlemen.

 I swear I'll be the luckiest man.

 If I can be your gentlemen.

 I wanna be the one you hug.

 When the world is just too much.

 Oh what you say?

 I wanna be the one you trust. (trust)

 I'll keep your secrets between us.

 Oh what you say?

(Chorus)

 Can I be your gentlemen?

 I'll be as gentle as I can.

 Girl, what what would it take?

 To be your gentlemen.

 I swear I'll be the luckiest man.

 If I could be your gentlemen.

Yeah.

 I will open every door for you.

 'Cause my lady should be first - awh yeah.

 I'll throw my jacket over a puddle.

 'Cause my lady should be first, ooooh yeaah.

 So tell me baby possibly,

 That you might consider me?

 Just say you will.

 And I love you humbly.

 I just pray that you believe -

 That I could be your gentlemen.

Ooh.
