Gentleman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This love feel so real
So real, so real
You know that I will always be around
Just keep your feet on solid ground
Never will I make you frown
You talk 'bout those lonely days
Tell me 'bout your lonely days
But don't you worry
I'm coming back home
You talking 'bout lonely days
Can't stand it being by yourself
Tell me 'bout your lonely days
You need me and no one else
I understand every word you say
And I've tried my best not to stay away from you
We had come a long way
And I never regret a moment I spent with you
And I will never give you up
No matter what people may say
Or what dem wanna do
I know that you miss my touch
Just relax for a moment baby girl
You talk 'bout those lonely days
Cant't stand it being on your own
Tell me 'bout your lonely days
But don't you worry
I'm coming back home
You talking 'bout lonely days
Can't stand it being by yourself
Tell me 'bout your lonely days
You need me and no one else
Let me ensure you
Baby so you don't have to fret
Just remember when we walking
Through the valley of dead
When we did down in the struggle
But we still did connect
Now we rise above that level
Now dem can't intercept
Girl I adore you 'cause you are my greatest asset
And among all the cards you're
The ace in my deck
Let me tell you this baby don't you forget
This ya love it never make us upset
You talk 'bout those lonely days
Cant't stand it being on your own
Tell me 'bout your lonely days
But don't you worry
I'm coming back home
You talking 'bout lonely days
Can't stand it being by yourself
Tell me 'bout your lonely days
You need me and no one else
And I will never hurt you or desert you
Love you from the very day your mama birth you
And I am certain lady virtue
Like the moon my love is shining through your curtain
Remember when we walking in the pathway
Out love was like a light
That guides us right through the dark way
And now we walking on broadway
Now our love is even brighter
The lyrics of Gentleman's song 'Lonely Days' are beautiful and touching. The song is about the love between two people who care for each other and want to be together, no matter what happens. From the first verse, it is clear that the singer is grateful for his partner's love and the way it makes him feel. He promises to be there for her always and make sure she never has to feel lonely.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant. The singer asks his partner to tell him about her lonely days and reassure her that he will always come back home to her. He understands that being alone is hard and promises to be there for her, and her alone. The verse that follows is equally beautiful, as he recounts the struggles they have faced together and how they have come out stronger because of it.
In the last verse, the singer reminds his partner that he loves her and will never hurt her or leave her. He sees her as his greatest asset and the most important person in his life. His love is like the moon, shining through her curtain, and guiding them on their journey through life.
