Gentleman Jack Lyrics

He loves drinking but he's no good at it

And when you're with him

We both know what happens

By the time I see it on his face, I'm already too late

And I'm left here cleaning up the mess you've made

You ain't no angel on his shoulder

You're just a ghost that creeps in from the past

Pulling those skeletons out of his closet

Only the devil could have a hold on him like that

You ain't no gentleman, Jack

By the first round, he starts slipping

A couple more down, and he's got no limits

His quiet voice starts getting loud, them fighting words come pouring out

He's just a puppet on your string, oh you're the only one to blame

You ain't no angel on his shoulder

You're just a ghost that creeps in from the past

Pulling those skeletons out of his closet

Only the devil could have a hold on him like that

All wrapped up in your pretty silver label

From the second that his lips hit the glass

You turn the man that I love into a stranger

And he'll have to give you up if he ever wants me back

Only the devil could have a hold on him like that

You ain't no gentleman, Jack

He loves drinking but he's no good at it

And when you're with him

We both know what happens
