[Intro: Ralph Tresvant]
Uh
Stone to the bone, baby
Yeah
Whos 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 everyday
Shower you with hugs and kisses
And making sure
That you get love in each and every way
My mama told me to remember, boy
She says "A woman is 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
Aw, baby
Stone cold
Baby, I'm stone cold
[Bridge]
Here we go
Come on

Baby
Don't mind giving
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
And I will open every door for you
Send you letters
And some sweet perfume
I'll call you up
To say I love you so
I do special things
'Cause I want you to know
[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
I'm a stone cold gentleman
I do all that I can
Give my heart, my charm

You've been missing out
On what is chivalry

Don't you know?
Oh, I do special things
Cause I want you to know

[Verse 4: Bobby Brown & Ralph Tresvant]
I'm a stone cold gentleman
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 were honking 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 one
That stepped at the high?
Ha
B
And I ain't even trying to go out like that
Stone cold
Baby, I'm stone cold
Baby I'm not no casanova
But I'll give my heart
I'll give you my charm
Baby, I'm a gentleman
And I'm not trying to win you over
Just give me your hand
And I'll do what I can
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
