Lyrics
Pretty lady standing there
Try to approach her if you dare
You know you've got a wicked line
And it seemed to work last time
But it's always, always, always, always the same
You fell for it because you're you, you, you
No one ever said it was easy
But they did so I tried
Such a beautiful thing hindsight
Nice guys finish last
And that's just the way it is
Soft and gentle so we thought
That's all I remember I was taught
You can bowl her down with some flowers
But she wants a man with superpowers
Oh yeah but it's always, always, always, always the same
You fell for it because you're you, you, you
No one ever said it was easy
But they did so I tried
Such a beautiful thing hindsight
Nice guys finish last
And that's just the way it is
I would do anything to finish in first place
But my lame attempt put me out of the race
Nice guys finish last
No one ever said it was easy
But they did so I tried
Such a beautiful thing hindsight
Nice guys finish last
That's just the way it is
