Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well there's a gentleman who's not so gentle 'Cause he's too generous with his chit and his chat So lately we've been discussing a way to rid this Disgusting example of ample gossip and gab All we hear is [Verse 2] Well he's a gentleman who plays a caricature Of a character he wishes he was So lately we've been ignoring all his stories as we smile and nod And let him simply do what he does So watch out It's just the way that it goes It's just the way that it goes It's just the way that it goes [Chorus] And everybody's got the same story We never wanted him here He showed up anyway He never would leave us alone We never wanted him here He showed up anyway But maybe that's okay [Verse 3] Well soon this gentleman was barking louder When his biting harder didn't earn him respect But lately we've been too proud to admit That we all might miss him just a bit Now that he's packed up and left What did we do? It's just the way that it goes It's just the way that it goes It's just the way that it goes [Chorus] And everybody's got the same story We never wanted him here He showed up anyway He never would leave us alone We never wanted him here He showed up anyway But maybe that's okay [Chorus] We never wanted him here He showed up anyway He never would leave us alone We never wanted him here And now he's gone for good But maybe we've made a mistake
