You don't need no fancy clothes, where'd you get them, goodness knows?
Just show some civility, Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
(C)
I'm not difficult to please. Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
Well I'm the kind of guy who likes to take you as I find you,
So throw away those false eyelashes and act nice, act nice, baby.
Come on baby, hold my hand, come on baby, understand,
You gotta act nice, act nice and gentle to me,
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
