Come here, baby girl. Walk on this side. Yeah. Right here. I got the street. You say chivalry is dead Good men are hard to find Every man you meet knows what to say But none know how to read the signs I just smile and open your door Pull your chair before you sit Move you to the inside of the sidewalk Like I don’t even think of it Take my coat when you get cold Walk you all the way inside You keep telling me men don’t do that Baby… I’m standing by your side Chivalry ain’t dead Baby, maybe you just missed it It’s the hand around your waist When I move you from the traffic It’s “text me when you’re home” It’s “let me know you made it in” It’s doing all the little things Without asking where I’ve been You keep wondering where that kind of man hides Baby, walk on this side I’ve brought your coffee how you like it Without asking you again Know when something’s on your mind Before you ever let me in Waited till your bedroom light Came on before I drove away Fixed the little things you mentioned once And never brought them up again Carried what was heavy Stepped between you and a fight Listened while you told me You can’t find a man who acts right And every time you say it Your eyes stay on mine Like maybe what you’re looking for Has been here the whole damn time Then you ask me, “Why can’t I meet a man like you?” I look at you A little too long. You look away, Then back again. Yeah… We both heard that silence. Chivalry ain’t dead Baby, maybe you just missed it It’s the hand around your waist When I move you from the traffic But lately when you lean on me You don’t move away so fast And when I say I’ll walk you home You ask me how long I can stay You keep looking for the man you describe Baby… Take your time Easy. Give me your hand. Watch your step. There you go. Maybe there’s another thing You haven’t noticed yet The man who keeps the world away Can still leave you breathless You never felt my fingers Curl up pulling your hair Never felt my bite on your neck Right before you tell me “Do that again” Never heard the room go quiet When your shoulder brushes mine Never watched me lose my place When you hold my gaze too long You keep chasing sparks in strangers Like a gentleman can’t ignite But every time I let you closer You forget to look away tonight These same hands that pull your chair out Wait for yours beneath the table You wanted sweet with something hidden? Maybe you’ve been missing the signs all night There’s a difference between restraint And never feeling fire Between knowing how to treat a woman And knowing when to let her decide I can walk you safely home Keep the whole damn world outside Then stand there by the doorway While you leave it open just a little wide Still think I’m too nice? Mm. You keep coming closer. Chivalry ain’t dead Baby, maybe you just missed it It’s the hand around your waist When I move you from the traffic It’s the gentleman you trust With a little more beneath The one who knows when to hold the door And waits until you reach for me So next time you say There ain’t a man who gets it right Have you forgotten who’s walking beside you all damn night? Come here Other side. Now You’re safe. Good girl.
