I am a lovesick gentleman |
|
Who pines and pines over the smallest things |
|
Most of them are truly inconsequential |
|
They are inconsequential things |
|
|
|
So I'll write you the longest letter |
|
Describing my feelings and all these stupid things |
|
I'll cross my fingers that your heart melts |
|
And you look at me and tell me "Darling, where have you been?" |
|
|
|
I am an uncool Canadian kid |
|
Awed and inspired by all the popular guys |
|
Most of them are truly irresponsible |
|
They do irresponsible things |
|
|
|
But I'm just a heartbroke gentleman |
|
And gentlemen never seem to get gentle women |
|
I need a small town girl |
|
To follow me home and teach me how to be a real man |
|
|
|
I am a gentleman |
|
An old soul gentleman |
|
A plain-jane gentleman |
|
A hold-the-door-for-you gentleman |
|
A no good gentleman |
|
A stupid, boring gentleman |
|
A dumbstruck gentleman |
|
A gentle, gentle, gentleman |
