A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder Soundtrack Lyrics
Better With a Man Lyrics
Henry:
When a fellow needs a little helping hand
Who'll be there? It's almost guaranteed
No one else could ever really understand
Only another man knows what you need
And when a man has fallen down upon his knees
In such a moment, who'd be better than
Someone who's self controlled
Someone who's strong and bold
Someone who's good as gold
It's better with a man
Monty:
Better with a man
Henry:
Then you agree, my friend.
Monty:
Indeed i do.
When a man is lonely, he can always find
Another man who's feeling just the same (henry: that's it. Yes, he can.)
Drink will help you get your troubles off your mind
You'll both be buying before you know his name (oh, blotto and squiffy!)
And in that rousing climax when your horse comes in (come on, ponzo. Come on, ponzo.)
Who will cheer as loudly as he can (i will.)
Only a man would see
The meaning of victory
Oh, the comraderie
It's better with a man
Henry:
Better with a man
Both:
Women have much to recommend
Henry:
Lord knows i've had my share
Heh heh
Both:
But when a fellow needs a friend
Henry:
That's a totally different affair
Monty:
Women are soft against your skin
They're awfully nice to nestle with
Henry:
But when the sport is masculine
Both:
You need a man to wrestle with
Gentlemen have secrets they will never tell
Oh, they will never tell
They'll never tell their wives
Henry:
Married men know there are things you must not say
Both:
Discretion is the only way that love survives
Men are always there
Always there to share
And take good care
As mates, as brothers
Take a look at us
It's been ever thus
Since boarding school began
Henry:
Women are too complex
Monty:
Women too often vex
Both:
Men are a simpler sex
Henry:
It's better with a man
Monty:
Better with a man
Henry:
Better with a man
Both:
Better with a man
Bottoms up!
