[Verse 1]
Where'd you get those fancy clothes?
Where'd you get those, goodness knows
Just show some civility
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

[Verse 2]
I don't need no luxuries
'Long as you are understanding
I'm not difficult to please
Act nice and gentle to me

[Bridge]
I am the kinda guy who
Likes to take you as I found you
Throw away your false eyelashes
Act nice, act nice to me

[Verse 3]
Holding my hand
Understand
Act nice, ooh
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
Holding my hand
Now understand
Gentle to me
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me, ooh
