Songfacts®:

  • This song starts just after the singer and the girl in the song have had sex. She has been cheating on him and he knows it, he just won't confront her about it because, as he puts it, "Gentlemen don't ask questions. they just keep quiet and pay attention."

    He's worried because once her parents find out what's going on they're going to be mad. He's lost because he thinks he's the nicer guy and he can't understand what she sees in him.

  • 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)
