Lyrics
Nice Girl
words and music by: Roger Anthony Mapes
When you were young you used to live by the golden rule:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
But now those days are gone and Sandra Dee was wrong-so was the Bible too...
Chorus: It doesn't pay to be a nice girl-I'm tellin you
It doesn't pay to be a nice girl-so here's what you do..
It doesn't pay to be a nice girl you gotta do what you want.
It doesn't pay to be a nice girl.
And if they call you a bitch, take the name and wear it well.
You just decide what is best for you-gho ahead and give em hell..
Because your exctasy is more important than anyone else's plan for you.
Chorus: It doesn't pay to be a nice girl-I'm tellin you
It doesn't pay to be a nice girl-so here's what you do..
It doesn't pay to be a nice girl you gotta do what you want.
It doesn't pay to be a nice girl.
ya gotta be hard tough cold and lean. ya gotta be better than the best and sometimes you gotta be downright mean because:
It doesn't pay to be a nice girl
