I walk in the door, clearly this club ain't for gentlemen
The 20's roar, but people have lost all sense of elegance
The clock doesn't move, you stop time with that smile
All eyes are on you, classic is always in style
Every guy in here is turning their neck
They're whispering in your ear, flirting their best
I pour you a glass, I ain't gonna sweat
'Cause darlin' you're a Cabernet girl and they're talking Malbec
So baby, take my hand
Hit the floor, let's dance
All the other jokers here, let's foil their plans
They won't be taking you home
'Cause they don't understand
Well, you could have any guy you want
But baby, you only want a gentleman
Black velvet suit
Setting the trend, setting precedent
That red dress on you
No wonder Marilyn caught the eye of the president
Every guy in here is turning their neck
They're whispering in your ear, flirting their best
Those other guys will try to get lucky
But tonight luck ain't gettin' them a lady
So baby take my hand
Hit the floor, let's dance
All the other jokers here, let's foil their plans
They won't be taking you home
'Cause they don't understand
Well, you could have any guy you want
But baby, you only want a gentleman
My love is tailored for you
All the other girls just won't do
When you dance you're the only one in the room
You're like a top shelf drink, always smooth
My love is tailored for you
All the other girls just won't do
When you dance you're the only one in the room
You're like a top shelf drink, always smooth
So baby, take my hand (take my hand)
They never had a chance (oh no, they didn't)
I think it's pretty clear now that I'm your man
Let me drive you home (drivin' slow)
I'll walk you up to your door (oh, up to your door)
Even if you invite me inside (no, no, no, no)
I wanna say yes, but I'll have to decline (sorry, baby)
Don't wanna mess with a perfect night (oh baby, you're perfect)
Your lips are tempting
But baby I'm a gentleman
