Gentleman Lyrics – Mckenna Grace

[Verse 1]
Listening to your old CD’s
In your old gray truck
And I’m not so quick to trust
But your green eyes make me blush
Late nights, and the midnight sky
On Mulholland drive
And I think it might be love
Or close enough

[Pre-Chorus]
And I start to think you’re heaven-sent
God must be picking favorites
How are you this perfect?
Guess I’m not used to gentlemen
And I know it’s just the basics
But I love the way that you

[Chorus]
Pick me up, hold the door, say I’m yours and then hold my hand in public
Drive an hour, buy me flowers, kiss me now cause you know I fu*king love it
Fix my hair, the little things that show you care
No, I’m not used to such a gentleman
I think I love a gentleman

[Verse 2]
LA when the night gets cold
And I’ll wear your coat
‘Cause you said it’s mine to keep
And it looks so good on me
Picnic on a sunset beach
For the first date please
I think it might be love
Or at least that’s what it seems

[Pre-Chorus]
And I start to think you’re heaven-sent
God must be picking favorites
How are you this perfect?
Guess I’m not used to gentlemen
And I know it’s just the basics
But I love the way that you

[Chorus]
Pick me up, hold the door, say I’m yours and then hold my hand in public
Drive an hour, buy me flowers, kiss me now cause you know I fu*king love it
Fix my hair, the little things that show you care
No, I’m not used to such a gentleman
I think I love a gentleman

[Bridge]
The way you’re kissing my lips
In the rain, think I’m dying
Like some dumb cliché
But you know that I like it
They say chivalry is dead
But I think you revived it
So classic, it’s magic
I’m crazy for the way you

[Chorus]
Pick me up, hold the door, say I’m yours and then hold my hand in public
Drive an hour, buy me flowers, kiss me now cause you know I fu*king love it
Fix my hair, the little things that show you care
No, I’m not used to such a gentleman
I think I love a gentleman

[Verse 1]
The first verse sets the scene of nostalgic intimacy, with the singer and their partner spending time together in simple yet meaningful ways, like listening to old CDs in a worn-out truck. Despite initial hesitance, the partner’s captivating green eyes evoke feelings of affection and the possibility of love, especially against the backdrop of late nights on Mulholland Drive.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the singer expresses awe and disbelief at their partner’s seemingly flawless character, suggesting they might be heaven-sent or favored by fate. This admiration stems from the partner’s gentlemanly behavior, which feels unfamiliar yet deeply appreciated by the singer, who recognizes it as a departure from the norm.

[Chorus]
The chorus celebrates the partner’s romantic gestures, emphasizing their attentiveness and thoughtfulness, such as picking the singer up, holding doors, and displaying affection publicly. These actions, though seemingly simple, are significant to the singer, who feels unaccustomed to such genuine displays of care and affection, ultimately leading them to believe they love a gentleman.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the singer reflects on moments of shared warmth and intimacy with their partner, particularly during chilly nights in LA. The partner’s gesture of offering their coat symbolizes protection and care, further deepening the singer’s feelings. The mention of a romantic picnic on a sunset beach hints at the blossoming of a new relationship.

[Pre-Chorus]
Reiterating the admiration expressed in the earlier pre-chorus, the singer marvels at their partner’s perfection, once again considering the possibility that they might be too good to be true. Despite their own lack of familiarity with such kindness, the singer finds themselves drawn to and appreciative of their partner’s gentlemanly demeanor.

[Chorus]
Similar to the previous chorus, this section underscores the singer’s appreciation for the partner’s consistent acts of affection and care. From grand gestures like driving long distances to small gestures like fixing the singer’s hair, each action reinforces the singer’s growing affection and belief that they are indeed in love with a gentleman.

[Bridge]
The bridge reflects on a tender moment shared between the singer and their partner, highlighting the partner’s romantic and chivalrous behavior, even amidst a clichéd setting like kissing in the rain. Despite societal notions that chivalry is outdated, the singer sees their partner’s actions as a revitalization of these timeless qualities, further fueling their infatuation.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus serves as a reaffirmation of the singer’s affection for their partner and appreciation for their gentlemanly ways. The repetition underscores the significance of these gestures in shaping the singer’s perception of love and their growing attachment to their partner.
