[Chorus]
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

[Verse 1]
When I wake up
I'm willing to take my chances on
The hope I forget
That you hate him more than you notice
I wrote this for you (for you, so...)

[Pre-Chorus]
You need him
I could be him
I could be an accident but I'm still trying
That's more than I can say for him

[Chorus]
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

[Verse 2]
Someday I'll appreciate in value
Get off my ass and call you
The meantime, I'll sport my brand new fashion
Of waking up with pants on
At four in the afternoon

[Pre-Chorus]
You need him
I could be him
I could be an accident but I'm still trying
That's more than I can say for him
1-2-3-4!

[Chorus]
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

[Bridge]
(Won't find out) He won't find out
(Won't find out) He won't find out

[Chorus]
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

[Outro]
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town
