Em
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
C
A real husband’s so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
Em
‘Cause most guys just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
C
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
[Verse 1]
EmAm
You’re not a lady if you’re always on your knees
CEm
Shouldn’t have to beg a gentleman so please be gentle please
Am
Oh oh oh, you’re beautiful
Em
Oh oh oh, I hope you know
EmAm
He overcompensates by buying you fancy cars
CEm
Just to cover up the fact that he stays out all night in bars
Am
Oh, if you can see
Em
That maybe he
Not meant to be
[Chorus]
Em
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
C
A real husband’s so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
Em
‘Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
C
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
[Verse 2]
EmAm
You had his baby, so you might got him for now
CEm
He already had the milk, so why would he go buy the cow?
Am
Ah then, your chance is slim
Em
Especially when, I’m lying next to him
EmAm
I wouldn’t marry him, no, not if I were you
CEm
‘Cause if he’s been cheating on me, then he’ll probably cheat on you
Am
Ah then, your chance is slim
Em
Especially when, he’s lying next to them
[Chorus]
Em
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
C
A real husband’s so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
Em
‘Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
C
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
[Middle 8]
EmAmC
Don’t get me wrong, I know that
Em
Most girls ain’t perfect angels
EmAmC
I’ll let you taste my rainbow
Em
You could at least be faithful
EmC
A gentleman, with a 9 to 5
A real husband, so 1999
EmC
A gentleman, with a 9 to 5
A real husband, so 1999
[Chorus]
Em
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
C
A real husband’s so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
Em
‘Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
C
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
[Verse 3]
I need a Ryan Gosling, I need a Robert Pattinson
Somebody I can take to mama, I need to find my Obama
I need a Jonas brother and how ’bout a Denzel Washington?
I need a Kellen Lutz and a Channing Tatum
Throw one my way, I’ll date ‘em
I need a Drake, I need a Ludacris
I need a Weezy, I don’t care who he is
Heard ‘em say, I need a Kanye
He ain’t a gentleman, but I’ll have ‘em anyway
George Clooney, Lamar Odom
Larry King, I like ‘em older
All the gentlemen from all around the world
Holla at me, let me be your girl
EmC
Gentleman, 9 to 5
Real husband, 1999
EmC
Gentleman, 9 to 5
Real husband, 1999
