I'm a stone cold gentleman
I do all that I can
Give my heart, my charm, my personality

To treat you nice, day and night
Oh baby, just say the word (Stone cold)

And I will open every door for you (Stone cold)
Send you letters and some sweet perfume

[Verse 3: Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown]
I'm a stone cold gentleman but I
But I don't like a girl that tries to get too fly
Remember that day I spoke, you kept walking
Pulled up in the Benz today and you was hawking my boys
And all of a sudden you started giving the rhythm up
It's plain to see you're just out for the Benjamins
(Yo, Rizz, ain't she the weapon that stepped at the high hat?)
Yeah B, and I ain't even tryna go out like that

[Bridge: Ralph Tresvant]
Baby, I'm cold (Stone cold gentleman)
Ah, sugar, I'm cold
Ah, I'm gonna treat you nice day and night, day and night, baby
Baby, say the word (Stone cold gentleman)
And I'll be right there
Ooh, I'm gonna open every door for you
Just for you, baby
Baby, I'm not no casanova
But I'll give you my heart, I'll give you my charm
Baby, I'm a gentleman
And I'm not, tryna win ya over, nah
Just give me your hand, I'll do what I can
'Cause baby I'm stone cold

Ralph Tresvant is the lead singer for the multi-platinum R&B group New Edition. Their first album Candy Girl was released in 1983. Following the departure of Bobby Brown in 1985 and the 1986 cover album Under the Blue Moon, Ralph was considering going solo as the direction of the group was in question. After Johnny Gill was added to the group in 1987, Ralph reconsidered and New Edition went on to release their most popular album Heart Break in 1988.

Ralph did end up going solo as the group took a break and he released his self-titled album in 1990, which yielded the #1 R&B hit “Sensitivity.” He went on to release two more solo albums–It’s Goin' Down in 1993 and Rizz-Wa-Faire in 2006–as well as two more New Edition albums in 1996 (Home Again) and 2004 (One Love). New Edition continues to tour and Ralph also began touring in 2008 with Bobby Brown and Johnny Gill as the Heads of State.
