Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wanna man to bring home to my mama Got his game tight and there ain't no drama No calls in the night from the third baby mama When the check comes, no, he ain't forgot that wallet Rich man, poor man, hustler, whatever Tough guys' tough, but they far from clever You don't got to be the butler, just have manners Better put 'em on display or it ain't gon' happen [Pre-Chorus] I'm tellin' you I gotta have a gentleman Open up the doors and he holds my hand I can have a thug, but it ain't no match 'Cause a thug can't do what a gentleman can [Chorus] Don't need your money (don't need that) I got mine ('cause I got that) What I'm askin' for won't cost you a dime (save your money for another chick) Can you give me (can you give it to me, baby?) What I like? (can I tell you what I like, yeah?) Ain't no exceptions when it comes to my guy (yeah) [Verse 2] Call me by my name, don't call me "baby" "Girl", who's your girl? Yeah, I thought I was your lady I like a man who's sophisticated Read a magazine, but he reads me Shakespeare Confidence mixed with modesty Is the recipe when you wanna step to me Try to act hard and you won't get far I need a lot more attention than you pay to your car I'm tellin' you it ain't about commitment Just as long as you handlin' you're business You ain't gotta be a baller 'cause I prefer a boss And a boss knows ladies come first [Pre-Chorus] I'm tellin' you I gotta have a gentleman Open up the doors and he holds my hand I can have a thug, but it ain't no match 'Cause a thug can't do what a gentleman can [Chorus] Don't need your money (don't need that) I got mine ('cause I got that) What I'm askin' for won't cost you a dime (save your money for another chick) Can you give me (can you give it to me, baby?) What I like? (can I tell you what I like, yeah?) Ain't no exceptions when it comes to my guy [Bridge] I'm tellin' you I gotta have a gentleman Open up the doors and he holds my hand I can have a thug, but it ain't no match 'Cause a thug can't do what a gentleman can I'm tellin' you I gotta have a gentleman Open up the doors and he holds my hand I can have a thug, but it ain't no match 'Cause a thug can't do what a gentleman can [Chorus] Don't need your money (money) I got mine (I got mine) What I'm askin' for won't cost you a dime (won't cost you, baby) Can you give me (give me) What I like? (what I like) Ain't no exceptions when it comes to my guy Don't need your money (no money) I got mine (I got mine) What I'm askin' for won't cost you a dime (won't cost you, baby) Can you give me (give me) What I like? (what I like) Ain't no exceptions when it comes to my guy
