Lyrics

NICE GIRL

Verse 1

HERE I AM
TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE DOOR
LIKE SO MANY NIGHTS BEFORE
WATCHING THE SUN COMING UP

LIKE AN ANGEL
YOU?RE SLEEPING ALONE IN YOUR BED
I THINK OF THE THINGS I SAID
THE PROMISES BROKE IN TWO

Chorus

WHAT?S A NICE GIRL LIKE YOU
DOING IN A HEART LIKE MINE
EVERYTHING I TOUCH I BREAK IN TWO

SUCH A NICE GIRL LIKE YOU
GIVING ALL YOU GOT TO GIVE
I?M SO AFRAID YOU WON?T SURVIVE
IN THIS HEART OF MINE

Verse 2

I DON?T MEAN
TO DO ALL THE THINGS I DO
I KNOW I SHOULD BE HERE WITH YOU
HOLDING YOU IN MY ARMS

I CAN SEE
I?M LETTING YOU SLIP AWAY
CAUSE I HAVEN'T LEARNED HOW TO SAY
ALL THAT YOU MEAN TO ME

Bridge

BABY I KNOW
YOUR LOVE FOR ME IS STRONG
BUT I?VE GOT TO CHANGE MY WAYS
OR ONE DAY YOU?LL BE GONE

WHAT?S A NICE GIRL LIKE YOU
DOING IN A HEART LIKE MINE
EVERYTHING I TOUCH I BREAK IN TWO

SUCH A NICE GIRL LIKE YOU
GIVING ALL YOU GOT TO GIVE
I?M SO AFRAID YOU WON?T SURVIVE
IN THIS HEART OF MINE
