Cobra Starship - 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”

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

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

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 though she’s with you
