lyrics

You need a nice boy, a nice one
Who doesn’t do anything wrong
You need a nice boy, a nice one
Who doesn’t do anything…
(He doesn’t do anything - ah)

(Ah-huh)
They tell me that I’m worthless
The tell me that I’m dumb
(Ah-huh)
They tell me I’d be nothing
Without someone
(Ah-huh)
They tell me I’m a bad boy
They tell me that I’m gay
(Ah-ooh-wah)
They say I don’t belong here
Ok

(Ah-huh)
But can’t you see I work hard
(Ah-huh)
Can’t you see I try
(Ah-huh)
To be everything you wanted
(Ah-huh)
The apple of your ah-ah-ah-eye
(Ah-ooh)
They’re never gonna break me
(Ah-huh)
Cos I’ve always stayed so strong
(Ah-ooh-wah)
When it’s they’re word against mine
Who’s wrong?

Cos all they seem to say
Is that I’m crying my heart out
But no one cares
To ask if it’s true
(Ah-ooh-wah-ah, ah-ooh-wah-ah, ah-ooh-wah-ah)
I guess that gives me reason
To be crying my heart out
Over you
And I do

You need a nice boy, a nice one
(You need a nice boy)
Who doesn’t do anything wrong
(And you need him to be nice)
You need a nice boy, a nice one
(A sugar and spice boy)
Who doesn’t do anything…
(He doesn’t do anything - ah)

(Ah-huh)
They tell me that I’m lazy
(Ah-huh)
They tell me that I’m weak
(Ah-huh)
They tell me I’m deluded
(Ah-huh)
And they tell me I’m a freak
(Ah-ooh)
They say that I’m ungrateful
(Ah-huh)
For all that I’ve received
(Ah-ooh-wah)
They say I don’t deserve it
Well, maybe

Cos all they seem to say
Is that I’m crying my heart out
But no one cares
To ask if it’s true, no, no
(Ah-ooh-wah-ah, ah-ooh-wah-ah, ah-ooh-wah-ah)
I guess that gives me reason
To be crying my heart out
Over you
And I do

You need a nice boy, a nice one
(You need a nice one)
Who doesn’t do anything wrong
(He doesn’t do anything wrong, no)
You need a nice boy, a nice one
(That’s what you need, yeah)
Who doesn’t do anything…
(He doesn’t do anything)

You know he doesn’t do anything
He just sits around all day
Riding your wave
Riding your wave

And so he won’t amount to anything
Until he finds a way out of his cave
Trying to behave
Am I in your way?

(He doesn’t do anything - ah)
(He doesn’t do anything - ah)
(He doesn’t do…)
(He doesn’t do…)
(Ah...)

Nice

(He doesn’t do anything)

You need a nice boy, a nice one
Who doesn’t do anything wrong
You need a nice boy, a nice one
Who doesn’t do anything…

(He doesn’t do anything - ah)
(He doesn’t do anything - ah)
(He doesn’t do…)
(He doesn’t do…)
(He doesn’t do anything – ah-ah)
