about

The ninth track, "Nice Guys" was written back in the 80's, which I recorded on my analog multi-track machine. I wrote it at a time in my life when I felt like I would never meet "the one". I since have of course, but I had always wanted to re-record it, as I feel it is relatable to everyone at some point in their lives.

lyrics

Why should I be nice? Nobody else is.
Why should I be kind? Nobody else is.
Why should I respect the opposite sex when I aint seen nothin' yet?
I'm not looking for perfection. Nobody else does.

Why should have faith? Nobody else does.
Why should I have to wait? Nobody else does.
Why should I be fine with being resigned while I slowly lose my mind?
I'm not looking for a hand-out. Nobody else does.

Don't be surprised. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish at all.

Why should I be lonely? Nobody else is.
Why should I be phoney? Nobody else is.
Why do you get kissed while I get missed? Am I easy to resist?
I don't think I'm Johnny Good Looks. Nobody else does.

Don't be surprised. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish at all.

I've waited for so long. Nobody else has.
Why can't I be strong? Everyone else is.
Why should I accept my singleness as something for the best?
I'm not asking for a miracle. Nobody else does.
Don't be surprised. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish at all.
Don't be surprised. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish at all.
