Lyrics

Nice Guy

I'm gonna stop using my manners
Gonna start sending mean tweets
Gonna start acting as if I'm God's gift
To everybody I meet
I'm gonna stop kissing on one girl
Mess around with a few
Put a bumper sticker on my Bentley, says evidently
Jesus loves me a lot more than you, yeah

Don't pay to be a nice guy in a bad guy world
It don't pay to be a nice guy
When the bad guy always gets the girl
You gotta be an a-hole if you wanna bankroll
Maybe that's why I'm poor
What can I say
It just don't pay to be a nice guy anymore
Oh, what can I say
It just don't pay to be a nice guy anymore

I'm gonna do my best to get arrested, yeah
Take a drunk mug shot
When I go out clubbin', gonna rolls these hubs
Right up in that handicap spot
Gonna fill a bunch of YouTubes up
Doing something obscene
Do whatever it takes to get my irritating face
On the cover of a Hollywood magazine, yeah

It don't pay to be a nice guy in a bad guy world
It don't pay to be a nice guy
When the bad guy always gets the girl
You gotta be an a-hole if you wanna bankroll
Maybe that's why I'm poor
But what can I say
It just don't pay to be a nice guy anymore
Oh, what can I say
It just don't pay to be a nice guy anymore

I say hey, it don't pay, it don't pay
To be a nice guy anymore, nice guy anymore
Hey, it don't pay, it don't pay
To be a nice guy anymore, nice guy anymore
Hey, it don't pay, it don't pay
To be a nice guy anymore, oh no

It don't pay to be a nice guy in a bad guy world
It don't pay to be a nice guy
When the bad guy always gets the girl
You gotta be an a-hole if you wanna bank roll
Maybe that's why I'm poor
But what can I say
It just don't pay to be a nice guy anymore
Oh, what can I say
It just don't pay to be a nice guy anymore
