Nice Guys
Nice Guys Finish Last: Unraveling the Hidden Truths
Lyrics
You're smart enough to make your mistakes
You possess the intelligence to learn from your errors
And act like you want 'em
Behave as if you desire the consequences
Walk off the residual pain
Dismiss the lingering discomfort
And forget how you got it
Forget the origin of the pain
Nice guys finish last anyway
Good-natured individuals tend to be at a disadvantage in the end
And that's just the problem
That's the predicament
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
Embrace the demeanor of a kind-hearted person
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
Adopt the conduct of a good person
If you want this, I want it more
If you desire this, my desire surpasses yours
If you want this, I want it more
If you desire this, my longing exceeds yours
If you want this, I want it more than you
If you desire this, I covet it more intensely than you do
I want it more than you
I covet it more than you
It's fine to say this isn't a game
Stating that this isn't a competition when you've already lost
When you've already lost it
Admitting futility after defeat
It's pointless to go through it again
Repeating the process pointlessly
But perhaps you've forgotten
Maybe you've overlooked or disregarded something
You've gotta know there's nothing to gain
Acknowledge that there's no benefit to be gained
So why even bother?
So why bother attempting?
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
Exhibit the demeanor of a kind-hearted person
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
Portray the behavior of a good person
If you want this, I want it more
If you desire this, my desire surpasses yours
If you want this, I want it more
If you desire this, my longing exceeds yours
If you want this, I want it more than you
If you desire this, I covet it more intensely than you do
I want it more than you
I covet it more than you
This isn't a trick
This isn't a deception or ploy
So stop over-thinking everything
Stop excessively analyzing everything
Just finish your drink
Consume your drink and cease overthinking
And stop over-thinking everything
End the excessive contemplation
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
Embrace the demeanor of a kind-hearted person
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
Portray the behavior of a good person
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
Exhibit the conduct of a good person
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
Display the attributes of a kind-hearted person
If you want this, I want it more
If you desire this, my desire surpasses yours
If you want this, I want it more
If you desire this, my longing exceeds yours
If you want this, I want it more than you
If you desire this, I covet it more intensely than you do
I want it more than you
I covet it more than you
I want it more than you
-I want it more than you
