The lyrics to Avant's song Perfect Gentleman express desire and admiration for a love interest who the singer sees as a perfect gentleman. The singer suggests that this gentleman has been able to win her affections because he genuinely cares for her and makes her feel good. She speaks of his charm, perhaps captured in his attractive smile, and his ability to make things easy for her as if it takes little effort. The way he handles her with care and concern is what takes the singer's breath away. The singer seems to feel a strong physical attraction to the gentleman, evidenced by the repeated use of the word "sexy" in the lyrics. She can't quite put a finger on why she is so drawn to this man, but she knows that there is something special about him that she just can't resist.
Overall, the song seems to be about the singer's ideal love interest. It expresses a desire for a man who prioritizes her needs, treats her with kindness, and makes her feel appreciated. The use of the word "gentleman" suggests a certain level of respectability and chivalry that the singer values, perhaps as a contrast to less respectful or caring men she may have encountered in the past. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels a deep connection with the gentleman, as if he is the missing piece of her life that she has been searching for.
