lyrics

I wanna be your manservant,
Not for me, it's 'cause you deserve it
Serve you drinks at the oceanside
Play guitar with the evening tide
I'll always call you "my Lady"
And you can call me "Mr. Lately" (whatever you name me?)
I'll even cook your favorite dish
My only words will be, "as you wish"

Never got paid for being a boyfriend
Even when I did all the serving
Already know how to live the fable
As usual, sex is off the table

If you want benefits now
Your manservant sure knows how

I'll wear suspenders if you should wish it
And never stint to say "you're exquisite"
Say your laugh's like a siren's song
And your smile's like the rising sun

Never got paid for being the best friend
Who gets treated like a servant
Already know how to live the fable
As usual, sex is off the table

If you want benefits now
Your manservant sure knows how

So what you waiting for?
There's so much in store for you
A man as you wish he'd be
A slave to your company

Never got paid for being a boyfriend
Even when I did all the serving
Already know how to live the fable
As usual, sex is off the table

If you want benefits now
Your manservant sure knows how 2x
