About I'm Finding It Harder To Be a Gentleman

In “I’m Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman” White Stripes lead singer Jack White emulates the style and lyrics of songs by 20th century bluesmen (Son House, Blind Willie McTell). In the song, the narrator expresses annoyance at having to constantly reaffirm his love for his partner. Upon the song’s release, some critics felt that, while White was perhaps simply paying homage to these artists, he ended up inappropriately expressing some very outdated views on women. .

I'm Finding It Harder To Be a Gentleman Lyrics

[00:00.50] Well, I'm finding it harder to be a gentleman every day
[00:07.44] All the manners that I've been taught have slowly died away
[00:13.30] But if I held the door open for you, it would make your day
[00:19.39]
[00:37.27] You think that I care about me and only me
[00:43.66] When every single girl needs help climbing up a tree
[00:49.47] Well, I know it don't take much to satisfy me
[00:55.50]
[01:09.17] Maybe it's whatever's in my head
[01:13.33] That's distracting me
[01:17.66]
[01:20.30] But if I could find emotion
[01:23.33] To stimulate devotion
[01:25.30] Well, then you'd see
[01:29.42]
[01:50.02] Well, I'm finding it hard to say that I need you twenty times a day
[01:56.33] I feel comfortable so, baby, why don't you feel the same?
[02:02.44] Have a doctor come and visit us and tell us which one is sane
[02:11.73]
[02:29.24] I never said I wouldn't throw my jacket in the mud for you
[02:35.82] But my father gave it to me, so maybe I should carry you
[02:41.66] Then you said, "You almost dropped me", so then I did
[02:46.58] And I got mud on my shoes
[02:49.71]
