Nice Guys Finish Last

I was just a kid workin' for the man for the first time

He said "listen kid, you'd better hear my advice:

Treat 'em like dirt, they'll stick

forever to the bottom of your shoe"

Oooo

I said "Mr. Man, that ain't nice

you gotta treat a girl right

Take her out, wine and dine her, always be polite"

"Kid, all good-just do you but soon you'll see

she don't want no goody two shoes"

Boy, you're just a goody two, goody two shoes

You're just a goody two, two shoes!

You got style, you got grace

But kid you try so hard

she just laughs in your face

Yeah you're a nice guy

With the wrong attitude

She want a bad boy

(bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys!)

I treat her bad, she loves me good

And I just hate to have to tell you

Cause you're a nice guy

But that just won't do

She want a bad boy

(bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys!)

Listen kid, you hear them sirens comin' for me?

But when I get downtown she will already be

postin' bail in her favorite dress

Smilin' at me because I'm no good

You can buy her everything she likes

And I'm sure she'll be obliged to let you steal a kiss,

maybe even spend the night

Kid, all good-just know that

She'll be thinking of me even when she's with you

Boy, you're just a goody two, goody two shoes

You're just a goody two, two shoes!

You got style, you got grace

But kid you try so hard

she just laughs in your face

Yeah you're a nice guy

With the wrong attitude

She want a bad boy

(bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys!)

I treat her bad, she loves me good

And I just hate to have to tell you

Cause you're a nice guy

But that just won't do

She want a bad boy

(bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys!)

Whoa, alright now

Single ladies (yeah)

I'm gonna need your help now

(Tell us what ya want us to do now (2x))

I need help girls

(You're a bad boy)

I say I need help now (help now)

So bad (so bad)

So good (so good)

So bad (bad)

Good (good)

God damn, you got style, you got grace

Kid you try so hard

she just laughs in your face

Yeah you're a nice guy

With the wrong attitude

She want a bad boy

(bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys!)

I treat her bad, she loves me good

And I just hate to have to tell you

Cause you're a nice guy

But that just won't do

She want a bad boy

(bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys!)

Boy, you're just a goody two, goody two shoes

You're just a goody two, two shoes!
