You Better Be A Gentleman

This is a song I wrote about something that happened to Ms. Hallie Meyer.

Young boy ask young girl to the prom

She say no thank you and so long

Young boy ask young girl to the prom

She say no thank you and so long

Young boy ask third time once again

She say, "When will your silly

Courting routine end, I do not

Want to go out with you

Not today or tomorrow I will not

Go out to the prom with you

Now will you please go away?"

Take it from me, you better

Take it like a gentleman, you better

Take it like me, you better

Take it from a gentleman, you better

Learn your lesson

Be the better man, and

Take it like a gentleman

Young boy and girl in play are cast

During kiss scene, she say be fast

Young boy and girl in play are cast

During kiss scene, she say be fast

Young boy enjoy his kiss with her

She complain, he retort you are

Not the (boss or)* director, I

Think it helps my character, to

Kiss his wife, he's fond of her, you

Aren't the boss or director, now

Kiss me, dearest wife

Take it from me, you better

Take it like a gentleman, you better

Take it like me, you better

Take it from a gentleman, you better

Learn your lesson

Be the better man, and

Take it like a gentleman

Young girl make prom plans with a friend

Just so the drama has an end

Young girl make prom plans with a friend

Just so the drama has an end

Boy ask, she forget, and say alright

But when she call to tell he start to fight:

"You bitch, you knew, I don't believe

Your lies you just want to deceive

My aching heart has no reprieve,

You bitch, you lying slut."

Take it from me, you better

Take it like a gentleman, you better

Take it like me, you better

Take it from a gentleman, you better

Learn your lesson

Be the better man, and

Take it like a gentleman.

*I don't know whether these two syllables should be 'boss or,' 'lousy,' or 'fucking.' I feel 'fucking' might be too much, but could add depth to the Young Boy character.
