D
Where'd you get those fancy clothes?
Where'd you get those, goodness knows
G                       D
Just show some civility
A7                                D
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

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

G
I am the kinda guy who,
                              D
Likes to take you as I found you
G
Throw away your false eyelashes
A7                                D
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

Holding my hand
Understand
Act nice, ooh
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

Holding my hand
Now understand
Gentle to me
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me, ooh
