Lyrics
[Intro]
Treat her like a lady
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, yeah, baby
Whoa, mmm
[Verse 1]
Now, I'm the kinda guy who don't believe that chivalry is dead, no
'Cause I believe a woman should be treated with the utmost respect, mmm
Don't be afraid, don't turn and walk away
I wanna get to know ya well
Don't be ashamed, don't say that love's to blame
Just come and look me over
[PreChorus]
You'll find a heart
You'll find a heart that you've always been lookin' for
How could anybody ask for much more?
More, more, more
[Chorus]
Now, I like openin' doors, pickin' up your hanky off the floor
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Light her cigarette if she smokes, even help her with her coat
Well, treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
[Verse 2]
In this world of liberation, it's so easy to forget, mmm
That it's so nice to have a man around to lend a helping hand, you can bet, bet you can, baby
When I was young, my mama used to say, "Boy
A woman's like a flower, with love on her you shower"
Ever since that day, her words never went away
I always will remember to treat my baby tender
[PreChorus]
You'll find a heart
You'll find a heart that you've always been lookin' for
How could anybody ask for much more?
More, more, more
[Chorus]
Now, I like openin' doors, pickin' up your hanky off the floor
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Light her cigarette if she smokes, even help her with her coat
Whoa, treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
[Chorus]
Compliment her on her hair, even help her with her chair
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
She's a bad son-of-a-gun, I'm her lovin' Don Juan
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
[Bridge]
Ooh, whoa
Whoa, baby
Every day, every way, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[PreChorus]
You'll find a heart
You'll find a heart that you've always been lookin' for
How could anybody ask for much more?
More, more, more
[Chorus]
Now, I like openin' doors, pickin' up your hanky off the floor
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Light her cigarette if she smokes, even help her with her coat
Help her out
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
[Chorus]
Compliment her on her hair, even help her with her chair
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Now, boy, you should remember to be a gentleman
Treat her like a lady, ooh
[Outro]
You better, well, oh
Treat her like, treat her like, treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like, treat her like, treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like, treat her like, treat her like a lady (Well)
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like, treat her like, treat her like a lady
