Nice Guys Finish Last

I was just a kid working for the man for the first time
He said, "Listen, kid, you better hear my advice"
"Treat 'em like dirt"
"They'll stick forever to the bottom of your shoe"

I said, Mr. Man, that ain't nice
You gotta treat a girl right
Take her out, wine and dine her
Always be polite
Kid, all good, just do you but soon you'll see
She don't want no goody two shoes

Boy you're just a goody two
Goody two shoes
You're just a goody two, two shoes

You got style, you got grace
But kid you try so hard
She just laughs in your face
Yeah, you're a nice guy with the wrong attitude
She want a bad boy (bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys)

I treat her bad (so bad), she loves me good (so good)
And I just hate to have to tell you
'Cause you're a nice guy but that just won't do
She want a bad boy (bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys)

Listen kid
You hear them sirens coming for me?
But when I get downtown
She will already be
Posting bail in her favorite dress
Smiling at me because I'm no good

You can buy her everything she likes
And I'm sure she'll be obliged
She'll let you steal a kiss
Maybe even spend the night
Kid, all good, just know that she'll be thinking of me
Even when she's with you

Boy you're just a goody two
Goody two shoes
You're just a goody two, two shoes!

You got style, you got grace
But kid you try so hard
She just laughs in your face
And you're a nice guy with the wrong attitude
She want a bad boy (bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys)

I treat her bad (so bad), she loves me good (so good)
And I just hate to have to tell you
'Cause you're a nice guy but that just won't do
She want a bad boy (bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys)

Well, all right now
Single ladies (yeah)
I'm gonna need your help now
(Tell us what you want us to do now)
(Tell us what you want us to do now)

I need help, girls (you're a bad boy)
I sure need help now (help now)
So bad (so bad)
So good (so good)
So bad (bad)
Good (good)

Goddamn you got style, you got grace
But kid you try so hard
She just laughs in your face
You're a nice guy, wrong attitude
She want a bad boy (bad boys, all we want is bad boys)

I treat her bad (so bad), she loves me good (so good)
And I just hate to have to tell you
'Cause you're a nice guy but that just won't do
She want a bad boy (bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys)

Boy you're just a goody two
Goody two shoes
You're just a goody two, two shoes!
