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 outside 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
