[Intro: Ralph Tresvant]
Uh
Stone to the bone, baby, yeah
Who's the mack?
(Stone cold, baby, I'm stone cold)
[Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant]
Am I
What you're missing?
The kind of guy
Who gives you a dozen roses every day
Shower you
With hugs and kisses
And making sure
That you get love in each and every way
[Pre-Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
My mama told me to remember, boy
She says a woman is your pride and joy
(Your pride and joy)
And that's why I treat you with seniority
A gentleman is what I strive to be
[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
I'm a stone cold gentleman
I do all that I can
Give my heart, my charm, my personality
I'm a stone cold gentleman
So, girl, just take my hand
'Cause you've been missing out on what is chivalry, yeah
Stone cold gentleman
Ah, baby
Stone cold
Baby, I'm stone cold
[Post-Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
Here we go (Yeah), come on (Say what?)
Here we go (What?), come on
[Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant]
Now I
Baby, don't mind giving, no
Giving you the kind of love
That I know you deserve
'Cause I'll be there, yeah, 24/7
To treat you nice, day and night
Oh baby, just say the word
[Pre-Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
And I will open every door for you
Send you letters and some sweet perfume
(Some sweet perfume)
I'll call you up to say I love you so
I'd do special things 'cause I want you to know
[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
I'm a stone cold gentleman

Big, bright future behind her, you know it
(I'll treat you right, all day and night)
Hey, excuse me
Excuse me, baby
[Bridge: Ralph Tresvant]

Oh, I'd do special things 'cause I want you to know
Here we go, come on

[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]
(Stone cold, baby, I'm stone cold)
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
[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
I'm a stone cold gentleman
I do all that I can
Give my heart, my charm, my personality
I'm a stone cold gentleman
So, girl, just take my hand
'Cause you've been missing out on what is chivalry
[Bridge: Ralph Tresvant]
Baby, I'm cold
Ah, sugar, I'm cold
Ah, I'm gonna treat you nice day and night, day and night, baby
Baby, say the word
And I'll be right there
Ooh, I'm gonna open every door for you (Stone cold)
Just for you, baby (Baby, I'm stone cold)
