Kinks, The - Act Nice And Gentle Lyrics






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.

    Kinks are around ten times better than the keys, like the black keys even though.

  12. D.... O....

    Black Keys did it better.. Sorry. BE butt hurt I guess...

    D.... O....

    No your right stud

  13. D.... C....

    Friendly & fun -- could a B-Side be better? The country-rock vibe suits this so well -- almost a little bit music hall.

  14. m.... ....

    kinks is one of my favorite bands (i like them more thank black keys, of course, although i used to listen a lot to black keys a couple of years ago, before "el camino"...), but i prefer black keys' version of this song.

  15. h.... ....

    Another Davies gem hidden away from the riff raft.

  16. A.... A....

    the black keys brought me here, not even mad.

    A.... A....

    +Dirk Shrubb sorry bud but your dead wrong like not even my personal opinion dans version is way more ripe with blues but there both awesome

    A.... A....

    Marc Santoro That's your opinion, I think that The Black Keys version is better.

    A.... A....

    Really, personally I find this version way chiller and groovier.

    A.... A....

    Same lol

  17. K.... F....

    Is Ray playing the guitar solo or is Dave over-dubbing himself?

    K.... F....

    ray does the simple ongoing rhythm and dave is doing the rest
