Don't Be Nice to Me - Nick Lowe

Don’t be nice to me

I’m undeserving of your kind attention

Don’t be nice to me

Better you pass me by

I just put paid to the chance of love in a million

And if you’re nice to me you’ll only have me crying

Don’t be nice to me

Thank you for the invitation

Don’t be nice to me

Sorry I can’t stay

When I find a rock big enough for me to crawl under

I’m gonna hang a sign outside to the world: «stay away»

Don’t be nice to me

If only life could be

Like a walk in the park

To the trill of a lark on the wing on high

Don’t be nice to me

'Cause I can’t guarantee

That what you’ll find

Won’t blow your mind

If you’re too kind

Don’t be nice to me

Yes, I need a ride to the station

Don’t be nice to me

But I’d rather walk in the rain, yeah

Now I know I’m acting like a big galoot

And it’ll all work out in time

But if you’re nice to me

Get ready to see me cry

Cry, cry

Cry and cry

Cry, baby

Don’t be nice to me
