Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll let the door, hit you right in the face
And when the check comes, I'll make you pay
Don't have a car, I guess you're picking me up
And in the backseat, we'll be falling in love
[Verse 2]
My only job is, to like on this couch
And while you're working, I'll be hanging out
Now don't get mad 'cause you knew from the start
I was an asshole who would never go far
[Verse 3]
'Cause when you're really good to girls
Give them your entire world
They end up walking away, hey, hey
They don't want a stand up guy
Rather have you cheat and lie
And do something they hate
[Verse 4]
Girls don't want a gentleman
They say they do but in the end
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
If you want to get to them
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
[Verse 5]
Your parents cry when you bring me around
They raised you up just so I could take you down
There goes your life right before their eyes
I'll have you barefoot pregnant, going out of your mind
[Verse 6]
'Cause when you're really good to girls
Give them your entire world
They end up walking away, hey, hey
They don't want a stand up guy
Rather have you cheat and lie
And do something they hate
[Verse 7]
Girls don't want a gentleman
They say they do but in the end
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
If you want to get to them
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
[Verse 8]
I used to be a nice guy
But that don't get you anywhere
So now I am just a piece of shit, idiot
Who's too stupid to care
[Verse 9]
When you give a girl respect
Treat her like she is the best
You're nothing to her
She'd rather have you playing games
Piss her off and make her wait
If you want to do her
[Verse 10]
Girls don't want a gentleman
They say they do but in the end
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
If you want to get to them
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
[Verse 11]
Girls don't want a gentleman
They say they do but in the end
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
If you want to get to them
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
They want a loser like me
They want a loser like me
