I wanna keep you for good so I swear I'll keep my word
Open doors, carry bags, always puttin' my lady first

I'll be handwriting you letters, all in cursive
Won't mess up your mascara, just your lipstick
Even if I'm living in the wrong time

I'll do it like they did way back when
Please and thank you just to hold your hand
I'll convince you chivalry ain't dead
So, can I be your gentleman?

Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?

Won't say how beautiful
Rather show you everyday
The only thing I would change
About you is your last name

Box of chocolates and flowers
I aim to please you
Never tell a lie
Unless I wanna surprise you

Even if I'm living in the wrong time (the wrong time)
I'll do it like they did way back when
Please and thank you just to hold your hand
I'll convince you chivalry ain't dead
So, can I be your gentleman?

Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?

'Cause you got something
All the other girls will never have
And that's my heart (that's my heart)
That's my heart

I'll do it like they did way back when
Please and thank you just to hold your hand
I'll convince you chivalry ain't dead
So can I be your gentleman?

I'll do it like they did way back when
Please and thank you to hold your hand
I'll convince you chivalry ain't dead
So can I be your gentleman?

Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?
Baby, can I, can I, can I
Can I, can I be your gentleman?
