Gentlemen Aren't Nice

Once upon a time I thought
 "What's the one thing I haven't got?"
 There's not a single thing in this world I couldn't buy
 That's when a gentleman caught my eye
 Once or twice we went around
 But now I'll tell you the thing I've found
 You shouldn't make your move until you know the price
 Because gentlemen aren't nice
 Just because I won't agree to take his arm
 And I occasionally forget his name
 He likes to call inclemency what I call charm
 But I know they're all the same
 I think I've realized my first mistake
 When he cried that his heart would break
 I would have thought that I was worth the sacrifice
 But gentlemen aren't nice
 Just because I leave him all alone for days
 And go about with others of his kind
 He dares complain about my evil ways
 And drive me out of my -- out of my mind
 What I relate is hard to bear
 I only endure it so that I might spare you ladies
 I'm not known for my good advice
 But gentlemen aren't
 So agreeable
 Love ain't a paradise
 And if I told you once, I won't tell you twice
 Gentlemen aren't nice
 Gentlemen aren't nice
