[Verse 1] I have found a gentleman Of the sweetest sort He seems to have a steady plan In the way he courts He opens doors, walks by the street He lets me lead the way And keeps his distance of some feet He makes sure I’m okay. He buys me food and shares his sweets He offers the first bite Then he surprises me with treats I’m always in his sight. [Pre-Chorus] Appreciate I surely do The way you wait and see things through But still I need no princess treatment Treat me as equal, dearest gent! [Chorus] I’ll treat you as you treat me With love that sets us free Not as a prize to hold above But as an equal, worthy love. So if you crown me like a queen I’ll mirror every scene No pedestal, no role to play Just me and you, in our own way. [Verse 2] Let me be a gentlelady Who treats you to a feast I’ll hold the door, strong and ready Protect you from each crawling beast. A heroine by a hero’s side We’ll walk through every weather I’ll bring the plan and you will guide We’ll carry the load together. I’m not a damsel in distress Though you may soothe my nerve I’m strong and growing with success A queen you’d wish to serve [Pre-Chorus] Appreciate I surely do The way you wait and see things through But still I need no princess treatment Treat me as equal, dearest gent! [Chorus] I’ll treat you as you treat me With love that sets us free Not as a prize to hold above But as an equal, worthy love. So if you crown me like a queen I’ll mirror every scene No pedestal, no role to play Just me and you, in our own way. [Bridge, rhythm change, music quietens, focus on voice] Your gentleman heart wants to carry the weight I appreciate the love, but let’s set it straight I lean on your shoulder, but stand on my own feet Two sovereign souls where the oceans meet. mmmmhh where the oceans meet [instrumental] [Chorus] I’ll treat you as you treat me With love that sets us free Not as a prize to hold above But as an equal, worthy love. So if you crown me like a queen I’ll mirror every scene No pedestal, no role to play Just me and you, in our own way. [instrumental] [Outro, rhythm shift, instruments in background] Let me be your gentlelady Let me hold the door Treat me equal - I am ready Move in union evermore Let me be your gentlelady [instrumental] A heroine by a hero’s side [instrumental] I’ll treat you equal - warm and steady A hero by a heroine’s side. I will be your gentlelady. [soft ending]
