I know a boy who cuts his own hair
Iron his pants and pulls out the chair for me
He will always have time of day
He insists he has no middle name

All the time
So we gave him one ourselves
So he would never
Be mistaken with anyone else
Was it whiskey
Was it water
Wine or gin?

Still I remember the night
We baptised the gentleman

The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me

Always self conscious about what he wears
Needs his father to show that he cares
Table manners but he's always flirting
He rather keeps quiet than say that he's hurting

We used to rip him off
We even wrote a song
It doesn't seem right anymore now that he is gone
The words were too crass, and the chords were too strong
I wore my lipstick and perfume
To write the gentleman's song

The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me

His love is like a flower
Love is the train
Love is the desire
We're try to stick in each refrain
Love goes next to peace
But love is stuck in pain
You better take a little time
Go drink a little wine

He's a friend of mine
We had our good and bad times
Yes he knows the sun will shine on him
If his heart is kind
But girl he's looking out even if your love is blind
Make you nervous when they meet them
They can see it in his eyes

This one who'll open the door
Open the door for me
This one who'll open the door
Open the door for me
This one who'll open the door
Open the door for me
This one who'll open the door
Open the door for me

He's a gentleman
With two blistered hands
I'm crying yes I am

I lead this gypsey band
All across the land
I have no 5 year plan

The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
The one who opens the door
Opens the door for me
