A Nice Boy Like Me

Walkin' around Uptight And lookin' for noise Frantic on a Friday night Just one of the boys Phony defenses, they fall in my way A case of hot fire turnin' to stone Just a wind up poet with a chip on his shoulder Meetin' Saturday mornin' alone Won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me Doin' in a place that never closes? I can hardly hear ya' Holy Moses Lookin' so sad Just tell me what's a nice boy like me Doin' by the dance floor after hours? Dozin' over rolls of whiskey sours? Feelin' so bad I'm feelin' so bad for me Lost in the crowd Alone And drinkin' my third I'm hungry for company, but I can't think of the words Watchin' the girls, my heart in my hands What a misplaced, pitiful sight? Just a stiff upper lip who'll be knowin' tomorrow What he shoulda been sayin' tonight! Wontcha' tell me what's a nice boy like me Doin' in a place that never closes I can hardly hear ya' Holy Moses Lookin' so sad Now won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me Doin' by the dance floor after hours? Dozin' over rolls of whiskey sours Feelin' so bad I'm feelin' so bad for me Watchin' the girls, my heart in my hands What a misplased, pitiful sight? Just a stiff upper lip who'll be knowin' tomorrow What he shoulda been sayin' tonight And tell me what's a nice boy like me Doin' in a place that never closes I can hardly hear ya' Holy Moses Lookin' so sad Now won't you tell me what's a nice kid like me Doin' by the dance floor after hours Dozin' over roll of whiskey sours Feelin' so bad I'm feelin' so bad for me
