Em
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
   C
A real husband’s so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
 Em
‘Cause most guys just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
   C
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find


[Verse 1]
Em                         Am
You’re not a lady if you’re always on your knees
           C                          Em
Shouldn’t have to beg a gentleman so please be gentle please
Am        
Oh oh oh, you’re beautiful
Em
Oh oh oh, I hope you know
Em                   Am
He overcompensates by buying you fancy cars
         C                              Em
Just to cover up the fact that he stays out all night in bars
Am
Oh, if you can see
          Em
That maybe he

Not meant to be


[Chorus]
  Em
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
   C
A real husband’s so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
 Em
‘Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
   C
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find


[Verse 2]
Em                      Am
You had his baby, so you might got him for now
      C                               Em
He already had the milk, so why would he go buy the cow?
    Am
Ah then, your chance is slim
            Em
Especially when, I’m lying next to him
Em                        Am
I wouldn’t marry him, no, not if I were you
           C                                    Em
‘Cause if he’s been cheating on me, then he’ll probably cheat on you
    Am
Ah then, your chance is slim
            Em
Especially when, he’s lying next to them


[Chorus]
  Em
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
   C
A real husband’s so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
 Em
‘Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
   C
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find


[Middle 8]
Em           Am               C
Don’t get me wrong, I know that
                Em
Most girls ain’t perfect angels
Em           Am              C
I’ll let you taste my rainbow
             Em
You could at least be faithful
Em                       C
A gentleman, with a 9 to 5

A real husband, so 1999 
Em                       C
A gentleman, with a 9 to 5

A real husband, so 1999 


[Chorus]
  Em
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find
   C
A real husband’s so 1999, so hard for a girl to find
 Em
‘Cause most dudes just hit it and quit it, and then they wonder why most girls just split it
   C
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find


[Verse 3]
I need a Ryan Gosling, I need a Robert Pattinson
Somebody I can take to mama, I need to find my Obama
I need a Jonas brother and how ’bout a Denzel Washington?
I need a Kellen Lutz and a Channing Tatum
Throw one my way, I’ll date ‘em
I need a Drake, I need a Ludacris
I need a Weezy, I don’t care who he is
Heard ‘em say, I need a Kanye
He ain’t a gentleman, but I’ll have ‘em anyway
George Clooney, Lamar Odom
Larry King, I like ‘em older
All the gentlemen from all around the world
Holla at me, let me be your girl

Em              C
Gentleman, 9 to 5

Real husband, 1999 
Em              C
Gentleman, 9 to 5

Real husband, 1999
Em           C
Go go, go 90′s! (x6)
(So 1999)
Em  C Em
1999
99
So 1999
