Chivalry Lyrics by Babyface

Lovers

1986

[Verse 1]
My friends tell me
That he's been cheating on you
And that he treats you unkindly
He's using you
My friends tell me
That he keeps messing around
And that your love is so blinded
You think that it's cool

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, he never sends you roses
He never kisses you goodnight
He never thinks about your anniversary
He says he don't have time
Well, I might be wrong to think
A little bit confused
But a girl like you is too beautiful
For a guy like him to use

[Chorus]
Whatever happened to chivalry?
Whatever happened to love and true honesty?
Whatever happened to chivalry?
Whatever happened to love and true honesty?

[Verse 2]
My friends tell me
That he's been bragging about
All of the girls that he's doing
Around the town
My friends tell me
He's putting you down
And you're so in love that you can't tell
He is turning you out

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, he never sends love letters
He never takes you out at night
He never wines and dines your heart
He says he don't have time
Well, I might be wrong to think
A little bit confused
But a girl like you is too beautiful
For a guy like him to use

[Chorus]
Whatever happened to chivalry?
Whatever happened to love and true honesty?
Whatever happened to chivalry?
Whatever happened to love and true honesty?
Tell me whatever happened to chivalry?
Whatever happened to love and true honesty?
Tell me whatever happened to chivalry?
Whatever happened to love and true honesty?

[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh ... oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh ... oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh ... oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh ... oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh ... oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh ... oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh ... oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh ... oh-oh-oh, oh

Oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh...
