When did chivalry become such a crime?
When you take her out try showing up on time
When you pick her up don't just wait out side like some taxi ride

So if you want her to want you
Here's exactly what you gonna need to do

Show her some ol' fashion lovin'
Like when a kiss meant somethan'
When a man opened doors
And would give up his coat when she's cold

Bring back that ol' fashion lovin'
When those three words meant somethan'
When a man knew how to romance
Oh, let's make it that way just like back in the day, oh

Just remember what Aretha said you got to show her
Oh, show that woman some respect
Five minute love just don't mean a thang

So if you want her to want you
Here's exactly what she's gonna need from you

Show her some ol' fashion lovin'
Like when a kiss meant somethan'
When a man opened doors
And would give up his coat when she's cold
Bring back that ol' fashion lovin'
When those three words meant somethan'
When a man knew how to romance
Oh, let's make it that way just like back in the day

Flowers and candies and diamonds are nice
But give her the things that money can't buy
Like quality time, treating her right and knowin' what's on her mind

Show her some ol' fashion lovin'
Like when a kiss meant somethan'
When a man opened doors
And would give up his coat when she's cold

Bring back that ol' fashion lovin'
When those three words meant somethan'
When a man knew how to romance
Oh, let's make it that way just like back in the day

Ol' fashion lovin'
Like when a kiss meant somethan'
When a man opened doors
And would give up his coat when she's cold
