Mr. Nice Guy

I'm convince that I've gone soft. What's happened to me. I may be young, but I used to be way different. I had no respect for women, thought sex was everything, and cheated on every girl I had. Where did that guy go? Oh well, I'm glad he left! He better not ever try and come back...

Mr. Nice Guy

(Verse 1)
So I've really got a thing for this girl,
She's all I've been thinkin about in this world,
And now I think I'm bout to hurl,
Cause she thinks we'll end up like broken pearls.

She said it was to risky even to try,
And I felt I really was gonna cry,
Cause Now it sounds like this all was a lie,
I'm done with this, no more Mr. Nice Guy.

(PreChorus)
I've been trying to help cause I love these girls,
They're some my very best friends in this world,
But it feels like I'm chokin on a necklace of pearls,
I'm tired of bein the backup for these girls.

(Chorus)
All these people have ever known is Mr. Nice Guy,
I thought I'd just go and give it a try,
And I have to admit, it really suited my,
Personality and now it's just part of my style.

I'm just sick of not tellin my side,
I can't take no more of this helpin everytime,
A problem comes and bein thrown to the side,
Forget all this, no more Mr. Nice Guy.

(Verse 2)
This one girl called me up one night,
She's screemin so I think she wants a fight,
But I don't give it, it aint me right?
She says her ex busted in and put her in his guns sights.

So I talk her down and I try to be kind,
Come the next day do you know what I find?
No grattitude, nothin, I'm goin out of my mind.
Ya know what, I quit! NO MORE Mr. Nice Guy.

(PreChorus)
I've been trying to help cause I love these girls,
They're some my very best friends in this world,
But it feels like I'm chokin on a necklace of pearls,
Why am I always the backup for these girls?

(Chorus)
All these people have ever known is Mr. Nice Guy,
I thought I'd just go and give it a try,
And I have to admit, it really suited my,
Personality and now it's just part of my style.

I'm just sick of not tellin my side,
I can't take no more of this helpin everytime,
A problem comes and bein thrown to the side,
Is it Really true; no more Mr. Nice Guy?

(Verse 3)
I'm always there to help em when a relationship ends bad,
I go to them as soon as I hear to help em get glad,
I can't stand to see my good friends bein so sad,
Wait, they helped me through some problems I had.

So I just sit here and ask myself why?
Is there something else that I need to try,
I through my arms up and look to the sky,
That's it, I can't stop being Mr. Nice Guy!

(PreChorus)
I've been trying to help cause I love these girls,
They're some my very best friends in this world,
But it feels like I'm chokin on a necklace of pearls,
Why am I always just the backup for these girls?

(Chorus)
All these people have ever known is Mr. Nice Guy,
I thought I'd just go and give it a try,
And I have to admit, it really suited my,
Personality and now it's just part of my style.

How many times have these girls heard my side,
I've got to try to help them out everytime,
A problem comes I'm not bein thrown to the side,
I can't do it, I'll always be Mr. Nice Guy.

(Tag)
I'm heir to the throne, It's in the blood to be Mr. Nice Guy.

Ok this is the rewrite I came up with today.

David

My Side

(Verse 1)
I'm confused about you girl
You're messing with my mind
Looking at your watch, you say
I'm not worth your time

(Verse 2)
You say you don't wanna ruin us,
Sounds like it was another lie,
I'm done puttin in effort,
You ain't stringin p this guy.



(Chorus)
No more not tellin my side,
Why you wanna kill me pride?
I thought you were on my side,
You can't even say you tried.

(Intermission)
This makes me want to explode,
But so much credit you're owed.

(Verse 3)
I Wanna forget what's happened,
I owe you more than I can pay,
You truly deserve to be called friend,
I can't believe what you musta went through.

(Lyric Break)

(Bridge)
So I'm gonna treasure you everyday,
I don't care about what other people say!

(Chorus)
No more not tellin my side,
Why you wanna kill my pride?,
I though you were on my side,
You can't even say you tried.

No more not tellin my side,
Why you wanna kill my pride?,
I though you were on my side,
You can't even say you tried


(Tag)
I'm heir to the throne, But my kingdom will never be my own.
