Once in a while there comes a man

Someone, someone they didn't plan for

Once in a while there comes a man

He is different than the rest

Once in a while comes a man, he's a gentleman

He's a gentleman

He's a gentleman

Didn't know that they made him like that

He is a gentleman

And everyone knows when he walks into the room

He does things normal men just wouldn't do

He is a gentleman in character and in romance

It's rare to find a man like that

A gentleman

A gentleman

Once in a while there comes a man

Someone who is a good partner, a good friend

Once in a while there comes a man

When things are wrong he takes a stand

A good man

A good man

Ooh, men like that don't come along too often anymore

Ooh, it's a rare thing to see

A man who knows how to be a gentleman

He is a gentleman

And everyone knows when he walks into the room

He does things normal men just wouldn't do

He is a gentleman in character and in romance
