The song "Real Lady's Man" by Vince Gill tells a story about the temptation and consequences of cheating on a committed relationship. It describes the allure of the nightlife, wine, liquor, and the tender kiss of another woman. The lyrics suggest that these temporary pleasures may seem tempting, but they cannot compare to the bond and promise of love in a committed relationship. The chorus emphasizes the importance of the promise symbolized by the wedding ring worn on the left hand. It warns that cheating is not compatible with a true gentleman or a "real lady's man." The narrator reflects on his own regrets and advises others to heed his words of caution. He admits that he should have listened to his own advice when faced with the invitation and seductive eyes of another woman. He realizes that he has thrown away genuine love for the momentary comfort of a stranger. Overall, the song carries a message about the value of loyalty, the consequences of infidelity, and the importance of cherishing and protecting committed relationships.
