Nice Guys

(Verse1)
Oh hi April. I thought you looked familiar.
How's life treating you and who's this little killer?
You must be so very proud, raising up a family, wow.
Glad to see you happy now, I'd love to meet the father tell me is he around?
Oh, I'm sorry he abused you. Said he's locked up now?
Man that's a loose loose but you don't have a blues clue.
You date the men you choose to.
You could've had all m y love but you just refused to.
When I saw you I just couldn't believe it.
The first girl I'd give my heart to and let her keep it.
You were so beautiful, manicured nails and cuticles
Sitting on top of your pretty toes.
A single fruit loop stands out in a bowl of Cheerios.
So I became your friend and you became my homie.
I wanted to be more I couldn't stand to see you lonely.
But I had to investigate. See why you gotsta perpetrate.
You said you want a nice guy but thugs is who you always date.

(Chorus)
They say nice guys finish last.
My time within your grasp was colder then a Winter's draft.
Unlike the sly guys in your past.
The wise guys that write lies to try to get in your pants.
In hindsight it's really sad
You know that I tried but didn't last.
I know we went our separate ways.
But do you ever think about what could've been today?

It's not cool to respect a girl.
And place your heart next to hers.
It's not cool to give her the world.
I guess I'm not cool so I'll just leave you alone.
They say nice guys finish last.
Nice... nice... nice guys finish last.
Leave you alone.
They say nice guys finish last.
They say nice guys finish last.

(Verse 2)
That chapter in my life I called the rainy days of April.
You pissed me off cause you would always allow these lames to date you
Which back fired and for me it should've made you grateful
I mean, how hard is it to choose between Kane and Able?
I should've sprained my ankle trying to run away to
Reality instead of waiting for you in plays and fables.
Had ties, but you liked the sad lies of bad guys I was mad nice
Hoping that this bad guy fad dies.
You know I almost turned bad myself
And did somebody's daughter wrong but thank God I had some help.
Before I could go off I met my wife she said know thyself
And she was right, I put my inner bad guy back on the shelf.
Now we're living so peacefully.
All the women like you I tell my dogs to leave them be.
And find one ride or die for nice guys to the finish
who appreciates the nice things... all the things you didn't.

(Chorus)

(Vamp Repeat twice)

I guess I'm not cool so I'll just leave you alone.
They say nice guys finish last.
Nice... nice... nice guys finish last.
Leave you alone.
They say nice guys finish last.
They say nice guys finish last.
