gentleman (acoustic version) Lyrics

You play the gentleman so well

I almost believed you

You rate my clothes from 1-10

Always just a mere 2

And I've gotten way too good at playing your therapist

But I've had more than enough

So don't insist

And that's what I get for dating someone

Who does playing pretend for a living

And that's what I get for falling for you

Even though you weren't my type from the beginning

You play the gentleman so well

Roses and chocolate

Wonder how often it will sell

If you keep slipping up and missing your cues

And I've gotten way too good at being colour-blind

Oh I swear: crimson-red never looked so ivy-green

And that's what I get for dating someone

Who does playing pretend for a living

And that's what I get for falling for you

Even though you weren't my type from the beginning

You're a nice guy impersonator

People pleaser, then you leave her

Honesty is just a game

Who will break and who will stay

Flashback: the moment I knew

I can't change your mind

And I don't know if I want to

You play the gentleman so well

*sigh*

Wonder how often it will sell

If you keep breaking character

And I've gotten way too good at ignoring the warning signs

But now I can see it all crystal-clear

You play the good guy

But jokes on you

I'm an actress too

You thought you could fool me

But god you're so foolish

Would you look at the sight of yourself

Losing me will ruin your career

And it'll make mine

And that's what I get for dating someone

Who does playing pretend for a living

And that's what I get for falling for you

Even though you weren't my type from the beginning

And that's what I get for dating someone

Who does playing pretend for a living

And that's what I get for falling for you

Even though you weren't my type from the beginning

And I'm better off without you
