Let me practice this before I say it to you   I know it might come out wrong but I want it to   Another chance to fight   Another way to make it right      So forget all of your chances   It's up to you to follow through   Forget the way she was   'Cause it's the things she does that make me      Sing about her   She knows I care about her   She said, "Be gentle boy   You show a lack of character, oh yeah"      Let me work this out before I come back to you   I know you sometimes hate the stupid things I do   Another lonely night   Another way to make it right      So forget all of your chances   It's up to you to follow through   Forget the way she was   'Cause it's the things she does that make me      Sing about her   She knows I care about her   She said, "Be gentle boy   You show a lack of character"      There is no other way   This girl is so all about me   I'm sorry I can't help the way   'Cause it's the things she does that make me      Sing about her   She knows I care about her   She said, "Be gentle boy   You show a lack of character"      That's why I sing about her   She knows I care about her   She said, "Be gentle boy   You show a lack of character, oh yeah"
