When did chivalry become such a crime?

When you take her out try showing up on time

When you pick her up don't just wait out side like some taxi ride



So if you want her to want you

Here's exactly what you gonna need to do



Show her some ol' fashion lovin'

Like when a kiss meant somethan'

When a man opened doors

And would give up his coat when she's cold



Bring back that ol' fashion lovin'

When those three words meant somethan'

When a man knew how to romance

Oh, let's make it that way just like back in the day, oh



Just remember what Aretha said you got to show her

Oh, show that woman some respect

Five minute love just don't mean a thang



So if you want her to want you

Here's exactly what she's gonna need from you



Show her some ol' fashion lovin'

Like when a kiss meant somethan'

When a man opened doors

And would give up his coat when she's cold



Bring back that ol' fashion lovin'

When those three words meant somethan'

When a man knew how to romance

Oh, let's make it that way just like back in the day



Flowers and candies and diamonds are nice

But give her the things that money can't buy

Like quality time, treating her right and knowin' what's on her mind



Show her some ol' fashion lovin'

Like when a kiss meant somethan'

When a man opened doors

And would give up his coat when she's cold



Bring back that ol' fashion lovin'

When those three words meant somethan'

When a man knew how to romance

Oh, let's make it that way just like back in the day



Ol' fashion lovin'

Like when a kiss meant somethan'

When a man opened doors

And would give up his coat when she's cold
