I Ain't No Nice Guy
When I was young I was the nicest guy I knewI thought I was the chosen oneBut time went by and I found out a thing or twoMy shine wore off as time wore onI thought that I was living out the perfect lifeBut in the lonely hours when the truth begins to biteI thought about the times when I turned my back & stalledI ain't no nice guy after all
When I was young I was the only game in townI thought I had it down for sure,But time went by and I was lost in what I foundThe reasons blurred, the way unsureI thought that I was living life the only wayBut as I saw that life was more than day to dayI turned around, I read the writing on the wall
I ain't no nice guy after allI ain't no nice guy after all
In all the years you spend between your birth and deathYou know there's lots of times when you should have saved your breathIt comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to a fall
I ain't no nice guy after allI ain't no nice guy after all
When I was young I was the nicest guy I knewI thought I was the chosen oneBut time went by and I found out a thing or twoMy shine wore off as time wore onI thought that I was living out the perfect lifeBut in the lonely hours when the moon's the only lightI thought about the times when I turned my back & stalledI ain't no nice guy after all.
