[Verse 1]
I got a date tonight with such a sweet little innocent thing
I'll sweep her off her feet before she knows what's happening
I'm gonna hand her (Ooh!) my sweet-talkin' line
I know it kills her (Wow!) every time
She's gonna love me from the start
And then I'm gonna break her heart
[Pre-Chorus (spoken)]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
This is your conscience speaking
[Chorus]
Be kind and sentimental
Treat her tenderly
'Cause if you're not a gentleman
You're gonna hear from me
And if she loves you from the very start
Now listen, Jimmy
I'm tellin' you, you'd better not break her heart
No, no, no, n-no, no, no
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yes, I will
Oh, no, you won't
Yes, I will
No, you won't
Oh, yes, I will, yes, I will, yes, I will
[Verse 2]
I'm just a big, bad wolf, I know tonight I'll be lookin' so good
She'll be a helpless child just like a Little Red Riding Hood
I'm gonna charm her (Mmm!) right into a trance
I know she'll never (Wow!) stand a chance
She's gonna love me from the start
And then I'm gonna break her heart
[Pre-Chorus (spoken)]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
This is your conscience speaking
[Chorus]
Be kind and sentimental
Treat her tenderly
'Cause if you're not a gentleman
You're gonna hear from me
And if she loves you from the very start
Now listen, Jimmy
I'm tellin' you, you'd better not break her heart
No, no, no, no, no, no
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yes, I will
Oh, no, you won't
Yes, I will
No, you won't
Yes, I will, yes, I will, yes, I will
[Outro]
Now listen, Jimmy
You'd better not break her heart
But I'm a lover
You'd better not break her heart
Man, my reputation
You'd better not break her heart
Now, now you listen
You'd better not break her heart
