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 



I don't need no luxuries 

As long as you are understanding 

I'm not difficult to please 

Act nice and gentle to me 



I am the kind of guy who 

Likes to take you as I found you 

Throw away your false eyelashes 

Act nice, act nice and gentle to me 



Holding my hand 

Understand 

Act nice 

Act nice, act nice and gentle to me 



Holding my hand 

Now understand 

Gentle to me 

Act nice, act nice and gentle to me
