It’s Hard To Be A Gentleman - Live In London

[Spoken Intro]
So uh, on Saturday, I think it was, it was Record Store Day and I had a single out, new single out
Which is good, and I'm gonna play that single
And I'd like to dedicate this song, to a lady called Barbara Barts
Is Barbara here?
Ah ok, she, she left me out, she stood me up, that's a shame
This is no longer, this is for everyone apart from Barbara
No it's not
I called "It's Hard To Be A Gentleman"

[Verse 1]
Baby, why don’t you tell me the truth?
What is the worst I could do;
Tell you that I understand
More than your man?

[Verse 2]
Darling, I don’t pretend to know why
You can’t even look me in my good eye
But I know that you
Could see right through

[Verse 3]
C'mon, here we go
Ah, ahh
And naked shoulder blades and swollen glands
And Sweaty fingers when we’re holding hands
I will always do the best I can
But it’s so hard to be a gentleman

[Verse 4]
So, baby
Whether it’s boozed at the bar
Or here in the front of your car
We are
I regret
As close as we're gonna get

[Spoken Outro]
Thanks
You started clapping just at the right time, 'cause I'd finished
Thank you
I don't know if this is my water but we're all friends
Apart from one of the guys
Who knows, it's like Russian Roulette
