Most gentlemen, they don't like love
They just like to kick it around
Most gentlemen can't take love
'Cause most gentlemen can't be profound

As Madam Sappho in some sonnet said
A slap and a tickle
Is all that the fickle
Male ever has in his head

Most gentlemen don't like love
I've been in love
So, I know what I'm talking of
And, oh, to my woe I have found
You just like to kick it around

So, just remember, girls
When you get that glance
A romp and a quickie 
Is all little Dickie 
Needs when he's fixed on romance

Most gentlemen, they don't like love
They just like to kick it around
I'm sorry, ladies, but every man, they're all the same
A pounce in the clover 
And then when it's over
Bye!

MostHey, wait a minute, baby! What's your name?
How soon we forget
Ladies, listen
We don't have to take it

Spoken:
If your boyfriend some fine night should take you in his arms, and he looks in your eyes, and he says, Baby, you know I love you, don't you? I said it! And I'll never leave you! Yeah right. You get your foot ready and you kick him.

Most gentlemen, they don't like love
I've been in love
So, I know what I'm talking of
And, oh, to my woe, to my woe I have found
You just like to kick it, you just like to kick it
You just like to kick it around
And round, and round, and round, and round
