Because Nice Guys

She was always ready to cry on my shoulder
and accept my help,
my affection, my favours.
‘Cause nice guys finish last.

But one kiss
and she doesn’t want to
‘ruin the friendship’.
‘Cause nice guys finish last.

I bought her dinner
and drinks
but only got a kiss at the door.
‘Cause nice guys finish last.

I listened to her bitch
about her other loser exes
but she never gave me a shot.
‘Cause nice guys finish last.

I told her she’s a selfish cunt
and nobody will ever love her
the way I love her.
‘Cause nice guys finish last.

My father used to tell me
treat ‘em like dirt,
they’ll stick to you like mud.
‘Cause nice guys finish last.

She said
she wasn’t drinking tonight
so I bought her shots.
‘Cause nice guys finish last.

I told the other guys
she’s a cock tease,
then a prude.
‘Cause nice guys finish last.

I told her it’s okay
as I kept my hand over her mouth
and kept going.
‘Cause I’m not as nice a guy as I think I am.
