A Nice Boy Like Me

(album: Tryin' To Get The Feeling - 1975)

Walking around
Uptight
And looking for noise
Frantic on a Friday night
Just one of the boys
Phony defenses, they fall in my way
A case of hot fire turning to stone
Just a wind up poet with a chip on his shoulder
Meeting Saturday morning alone

Won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me
Doing in a place that never closes?
I can hardly hear ya'
Holy Moses
Looking so sad
Just tell me what's a nice boy like me
Doing by the dance floor after hours?
Dozing over rolls of whiskey sours?
Feeling so bad
I'm feeling so bad for me

Lost in the crowd
Alone
And drinking my third
I'm hungry for company, but I can't think of the words
Watching the girls, my heart in my hands
What a misplaced, pitiful sight?
Just a stiff upper lip who'll be knowing tomorrow
What he shoulda been saying tonight!

Wontcha' tell me what's a nice boy like me
Doing in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya' Holy Moses
Looking so sad
Now won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me
Doing by the dance floor after hours?
Dozing over rolls of whiskey sours
Feeling so bad
I'm feeling so bad for me

Watching the girls, my heart in my hands
What a misplased, pitiful sight?
Just a stiff upper lip who'll be knowing tomorrow
What he shoulda been saying tonight

And tell me what's a nice boy like me
Doing in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya'
Holy Moses
Looking so sad
Now won't you tell me what's a nice kid like me
Doing by the dance floor after hours
Dozing over roll of whiskey sours
Feeling so bad
I'm feeling so bad for me
