[Verse 1]
I wanna keep you for good so I swear I'll keep my word
Open doors, carry bags, always put my lady first
I'll be handwritin' ya letters all in cursive
Won't mess up your mascara, just your lipstick
Even if I'm living in the wrong time
[Chorus]
I'll do it like they did it way back when
Please and thank you just to hold your hand
I'll convince you chivalry ain't dead
So can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I be your gentleman?
[Verse 2]
Won't say you're beautiful, rather show you everyday
The only thing I would change about you is your last name
Box of chocolates and flowers, I aim to please you
Never tell a lie, unless I wanna surprise you
Even if I'm living in the wrong time (The wrong time)
[Chorus]
I'll do it like they did it way back when
Please and thank you just to hold your hand
I'll convince you chivalry ain't dead
So can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I be your gentleman?
[Bridge]
'Cause you've got something all the other girls will never have
And that's my heart (That's my heart)
That's my heart
[Chorus]
I'll do it like they did it way back when
Please and thank you just to hold your hand
I'll convince you chivalry ain't dead
So can I be your gentleman?
[Chorus]
I'll do it like they did it way back when (Like they did)
Please and thank you just to hold your hand (Please and thank you)
I'll convince you chivalry ain't dead (Dead)
So can I be your gentleman? (Can I be your gentleman?)
(My baby) Can I, can I, can I, can I (Ooh)
Can I be your gentleman? (Can I be, can I be?)
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I (Mmm)
Can I be your gentleman? (Can I be your gentleman?)
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I (A gentleman)
Can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I be your gentleman?
