Mr. Nice Guy Blues Lyrics

Dan Shepherd Mr. Nice Guy Blues

[Verse]
I want you to know as I set here, guitar on my knee
I want to tell you my sad story, but I don't want no sympathy
If you don't want to hear my story, it's quite all right with me
I'll sing it to myself; I've done it plenty times for free

[Chorus]
But there's a thousand women in a crowded world
I don't wanna be burnt by one small girl
And I do not care if I love her so,
If she calls me back honey I won't go

[Verse]
People talk about the way she walk, but I doubt any one knows
What makes a girl a virgin, is not ribbons and bows
She smiled at me so innocently so I treated her a certain way
Low and behold everybody she know was just handling her like clay

[Chorus]
But there's a thousand women in a crowded world
I don't wanna be burnt by one small girl
And I do not care if I love her so,
If she calls me back honey I won't go

[Verse]
I didn't know nothing 'bout nothing, I was happy holding her hand
Then she left me 'cause I was boring, now I understand
Those of you who paid your dues will know what I've been through
Those of you who don't, I envy you
