I used to walk you to your door to make sure you got home safe

Held you and kissed you on the porch, my arms around your waist

Used to drive on home

And I’d think of you with that smile on your face

 

I heard he always drops you off at the stop sign on Sixteenth

Your folks don’t know you’re with him and you’re hoping that they never meet

Saw you walking home

By the faded lights on the side of the street

 

And you say you don’t care but I know you

Didn’t think he’d be the one that you’d go to

Never thought you would be scared when I told you

Told you that you are the one that I’d hold forever but

Nice guys finish last

And I’m the nice guy you never gave a chance

 

I used to give you everything, I’d give you all of me

How’d we go from every day to you saying you can’t talk to me

Now I drive on home

Wishing you were still in the passenger seat

 

And you say you don’t care but I know you

Didn’t think he’d be the one that you’d go to

Never thought you would be scared when I told you

Told you that you are the one that I’d hold forever but

Nice guys finish last

And I’m the nice guy you never gave a chance

 

Never gave me a chance

(Nice guys finish last)

Never gave me a chance, no

No you never gave a chance

 

And you say you don’t care but I know you (I know you)

Didn’t think he’d be the one that you’d go to (Didn’t think he’d the one)

Never thought you would be scared when I told you

Told you that you are the one that I’d hold forever but

Nice guys finish last

And I’m the nice guy you never gave a chance
