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
I don't need no luxuries,
As long as you are understanding
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
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
