[Chorus]
A [Em]gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
A r[C]eal husband's so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
'[Em]Cause most guys just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
A g[C]entleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
[Verse 1]
[Em]You're not a lady if you're[Am] always on your knees
Shouldn't h[C]ave to beg a gentleman so p[Em]lease be gentle please
[Am]Oh oh oh, you're beautiful
[Em]Oh oh oh, I hope you know
[Em]He overcompensates by[Am] buying you fancy cars
Just to c[C]over up the fact that he stays [Em]out all night in bars
[Am]Oh, if you can see
That maybe[Em] he
Not meant to be
[Chorus]
A [Em]gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
A r[C]eal husband's so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
'[Em]Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
A g[C]entleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
[Verse 2]
[Em]You had his baby, so you[Am] might got him for now
He alr[C]eady had the milk, so why would [Em]he go buy the cow?
Ah t[Am]hen, your chance is slim
Especially w[Em]hen, I'm lying next to him
[Em]I wouldn't marry him, no, [Am]not if I were you
'Cause if h[C]e's been cheating on me, then he'll p[Em]robably cheat on you
Ah t[Am]hen, your chance is slim
Especially w[Em]hen, he's lying next to them
[Chorus]
A [Em]gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
A r[C]eal husband's so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
'[Em]Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
A g[C]entleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
[Middle 8]
[Em]Don't get me [Am]wrong, I know tha[C]t
Most girls ain't[Em] perfect angels
[Em]I'll let you [Am]taste my rainbow[C]
You could at [Em]least be faithful
[Em]A gentleman, with a 9 to [C]5
A real husband, so 1999
[Em]A gentleman, with a 9 to [C]5
A real husband, so 1999
[Chorus]
A [Em]gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
A r[C]eal husband's so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
'[Em]Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
A g[C]entleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
[Verse 3]
I need a Ryan Gosling, I need a Robert Pattinson
Somebody I can take to mama, I need to find my Obama
I need a Jonas brother and how 'bout a Denzel Washington?
I need a Kellen Lutz and a Channing Tatum
Throw one my way, I'll date 'em
I need a Drake, I need a Ludacris
I need a Weezy, I don't care who he is
Heard 'em say, I need a Kanye
He ain't a gentleman, but I'll have 'em anyway
George Clooney, Lamar Odom
Larry King, I like 'em older
All the gentlemen from all around the world
Holla at me, let me be your girl
[Em]Gentleman, 9 to [C]5
Real husband, 1999
[Em]Gentleman, 9 to [C]5
