A Gentleman Scoundrel

I stroll in like a rumor dressed in midnight black, A wink in my pocket, luck riding my back. Cards on the table, dreams in the air, I’m half a gentleman, half a dare. I’m not here to break hearts, just borrow a few, Leave ‘em shining brighter when I’m through. ’Cause I’m a gentleman scoundrel, baby, smooth as a lie, I’ll make you feel like the queen of the sky. With a whisper, a promise, a dance out of time, I’m trouble in a tux with a glass of good wine. I’ve kissed a few fortunes and charmed a few queens, Skipped down the alleys of neon-lit dreams. Never stay longer than the night wants me to, But I savor the moments I steal with you. No need for forgiveness, no need to confess, I’m a well-tailored riddle that never says yes. Yeah, I’m a gentleman scoundrel, baby, smooth as a breeze, I’ll lift your heart just to set it at ease. A smile, a gamble, a toast to the night, I’m the shadow you follow when the stars burn bright. Call me a rogue with a hint of romance, A sinner who knows how to savor a dance. I’ll spin you around till your worries are ghosts, Then vanish right after the final toast. I’m a gentleman scoundrel, baby, here for the thrill, I’ll leave you with laughter I hope you keep still. No chains, no sorrow, just glitter and grace, A fleeting embrace in a faraway place.
