  • Well I'm blowing smoke out of your window,
    And you're slippin' back into your dress,
    You know you were always such a lady,
    I've always been impressed,
    But gentlemen they don't ask questions,
    Just keep quiet, pay attention, gentlemen,
    They don't ask questions, we could pay attention

    I said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
    Phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers,
    Said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
    Phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers

    Well I pictured you in blue, but I have to say,
    I'm impartial to the red, deep, dark, and devastating,
    Leaving no question as to where you've been,
    I calm the crowd, by keeping quiet, move like a shadow, up to your matress,
    Gentlemen don't ask questions, we could pay attention

    Do you think he'd be better,
    Doing what I do best?

    I said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
    Phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers,
    Said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
    Phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers

    Do you think he'd be better,
    Doing what I do best?

    I said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
    Phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers,
    Said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
    Phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers Writer/s: ADAM BURBANK LAZZARA, EDWARD REYES, FREDERICK PAUL MASCHERINO, MARK O'CONNELL, MATTHEW A. RUBANO

  • Mark from St. Petersburg, FlThe line "do you think, hed be better, doing what I do best?" definetely gives it away that he knows she is cheating on him.
  • Tim from South Jersey, Njthe guy is trying to not ask direct questions about the affair, but rather beat around the bush to let her know, he knows. "well i pictured you in blue, but i must say im more partial to the red. leaving no question as to where you have been."
  • Brandie from Jacksonville, AlThey have just got done having sex and he knows she has feelings for someone else. (Gentlemen don't ask questions. they just keep quiet and pay attention)He gets aggravated and they start to argue loud enough to wake her parents. (I'm gonna have myself in shambles, before your folks are up and looking for some answers)
