O Gentleman, O Gentleman

O gentleman, o gentleman! don't fear the work is done.
You've held you're own (eyes closed) you definitely won.
You succeeded on landing, left the bar exulting
You bought the drink and supplied the vessel of your daring.
     But my heart, my heart, my heart!
        White sheets spotted red
            Where on the bed I coldly lie
                heartbroken, battered, dead.

O gentleman, o gentleman, you rise when you hear your cell,
The deed is done, you rose and won, but now it loudly trills.
Expect no flowers, expect no wreaths, you lady has come a-crowing
For you she calls, her beckoning thighs, her eager body yearning.
     Here lover, handsome man
        Come lay down your sweet head.
           Pray was a dream of mine last night
               Now I'm heartbroken, battered, dead.

The gentleman does not answer, he motions me be still.
He'll never crave my touch again, no more kisses does he will.
He takes this round, his satisfaction done
His brazenness meant his object won.
     Exult you catch with ringing bells
        But I shall keep my bed
            Here I shall mourn your lies
                heartbroken, battered, dead.
