In “I’m Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman” White Stripes lead singer Jack White emulates the style and lyrics of songs by 20th century bluesmen (Son House, Blind Willie McTell). In the song, the narrator expresses annoyance at having to constantly reaffirm his love for his partner.
Upon the song’...
[Verse 1]
Well I'm finding it harder
To be a gentleman every day
All the manners that I've been taught
Have slowly died away
But if I held the door open for you
It wouldn't make your day
[Verse 2]
You think that I care
About me and only me
When every single girl needs help
Climbing up a tree
Well I know it don't take much
To satisfy me
[Bridge]
Maybe it's whatever is in my hand
That's distracting me
But if I could find emotion
To stimulate devotion
Well then you'd see
[Verse 3]
Well I'm finding it hard to say
That I need you twenty times a day
I feel comfortable so baby why
Don't you feel the same?
Have a doctor come and visit us
And tell us which one is sane
[Verse 4]
I'd never said I wouldn't
Throw my jacket in the mud for you
But my father gave it to me so
Maybe I should carry you
Then you said "You almost dropped me"
So then I did
And I got mud on my shoes
