You never seem to see a man anymore get up and offer a lady his chair
Or remove their hat inside it’s like they are afraid to show their hair
It seems people will no longer take time to hold open a door
And it is unusual to even hear someone say thank you anymore
People just don’t seem to care about showing each other respect
Some of you may even take offense at me talking so direct
Today a woman at the store just let the door shut in my face
She was heading for a fountain drink like she was running a race
Whether it is showing a little courtesy in public or while driving your car
You may find out you like being courteous and it’s more rewarding by far
If people out there treated everyone like they were a sister or brother
It would be such a better world full of courtesy and respect for each other
From My World To Yours,
