Well, I'm finding it harder to be a gentleman every day. All the manners that I've been taught have slowly died away. But if I held the door open for you, it would make your day. You think that I care about me and only me, when every single girl needs help climbing up a tree. Well, I know it don't take much to satisfy me. Maybe it's whatever's in my hand that's distracting me, but if I could find emotion to stimulate devotion, well, then you'd see. Well, I'm finding it hard to say that I need you twenty times a day. I feel comfortable so, baby, why don't you feel the same? Have a doctor come and visit us, and tell us which one is sane. I never said I wouldn't throw my jacket in the mud for you, but my father gave it to me so maybe I should carry you. Then you said, "You almost dropped me," so then I did, and I got mud on my shoes.
