Im Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman

The White Stripes

Transposer:

[Verse] Well I’m finding it harder to be a gentleman every day All the manners that I’ve been taught have slowly died away. F (one strum let ring) N.C But if I held the door open for you it wouldn’t make your day. [Break] [Verse] You think that I care about me and only me   When every single girl needs help climbing up a tree. F (one strum let ring) N.C And I know it don’t take much to satisfy me. [Break] [Verse] Maybe it’s whatever’s in my hand that’s distracting me.    But if I could find the emotion to stimulate devotion well then you’d see. [Break] [Verse] Well I’m finding it hard to say that I need you twenty times a day I feel comfortable so baby why don’t you feel the same?        F (one strum let ring) N.C Have a doctor come and visit us and tell us which one is sane. [Break] [Verse] I never said I wouldn’t throw my jacket in the mud for you But my father gave it to me so maybe I should carry you.          F (one strum let ring) N.C Then you said you almost dropped me so then I did                           G* (slow strum) And I got mud on my shoes.

La chanson aborde la difficulté croissante d'agir avec courtoisie et respect envers les autres, en particulier dans une relation amoureuse. L'artiste exprime une lutte interne entre son éducation et les attentes modernes, tout en se sentant souvent incompris. Il souligne aussi la tension entre son besoin d’affection et son incapacité à le représenter clairement. À travers des métaphores liées à des gestes d’attention, il questionne les normes de la galanterie et leur impact sur les relations d'aujourd'hui.
