Nice Guy Lyrics by The Upstart Crows

The Upstart Crows

2018

[Verse 1]
A pocket full of knives and a bag full of books
It's hard to be sad when you're misunderstood
It's hard to breathe with a gun to your head
So lock the doors, come inside, and tie me down to the bed

[Chorus]
'Cause I’m a nice guy, I’ll take your word
'Cause I told you everything that you've heard
I’m a nice guy, that's what they say
But if you double cross me then I’ll ruin, ruin your day

[Verse 2]
A deal is a deal in jeans or a tie
Don't trust a cover 'cause it's probably a lie
Business or pleasure don't need the divide
Life is just easier when you don't pick sides

[Chorus]
'Cause I’m a nice guy, I’ll take your word
'Cause I told you everything that you've heard
I’m a nice guy, that's what they say
But if you double cross me then I’ll ruin, ruin your day

[Verse 3]
The preacher likes me and the neighbors can't complain
And if there's any trouble I'm the last to be blamed
Cuttin' throats in sheeps's clothes
Left in the gutter to feed those crows

[Chorus]
'Cause I’m a nice guy, I’ll take your word
'Cause I told you everything that you've heard
I’m a nice guy, that's what they say
But if you double cross me then I’ll ruin, ruin your day
