Lyrics

Dumped again, my heart ripped apart like a condom wrapper on grad night
I remember it like it was yesterday, Kathy and I were going to last forever
I loved her, she loved me, nothing could have been better
But pretty quick the music stopped and I was left without a chair
You know, I thought she said she’d never leave me, I thought she said she’d always love me
I remember going over to her house crying “Baby I love you, please don’t leave me”
But she didn’t care, she just looked at me and said:

You’re a nice guy but… It’s not you, it’s me
You’re a nice guy but … you can do better than me
You’re a nice guy but… I’m just a little confused
You’re a nice guy but… I want to date other people
You’re a nice guy but… you’re just a friend

I learned two things about breaking up that weekend
The first, Tequila kills the pain, and the second, country songs were written by guys like me
But I moved on, I grew up, I met Melissa
She came, she went, she said:

You’re a nice guy but… It’s not you, it’s me
You’re a nice guy but … you can do better than me
You’re a nice guy but… I’m just a little confused right now
You’re a nice guy but… I want to date other people
You’re a nice guy but… you’re just a friend

Now, a couple of weeks ago I met Shelley at the local meet market
She didn’t have much to sell, but I was a desperate buyer
Couple of weeks after meeting Shelley, I met Danielle
Shelley was nice, but Danielle was everything I’ve always wanted in a girl
Soft, sweet, pretty, with legs that could crush my head like a grape
Now, I didn’t know what to do with Shelley, me and her just wanted different things
She wanted me, I wanted Danielle
I didn’t want to hurt her, so I went with what works:

You’re a nice girl but… It’s not you, it’s me baby
You’re a nice girl but… you can do better than me
You’re a nice girl but…I’m just a little confused
You’re a nice girl but…I want to date other people
You’re a nice girl but … you’re just a friend

You’re a nice girl but…I didn’t want to hurt you, I had to
You’re a nice girl but… I’m thinking of your needs
You’re a nice girl but…we tried to make it work
You’re a nice girl but…you just need to find yourself
You’re a nice girl but … we’re much better friends than lovers
You’re a nice girl but… I just need a break from us
You’re a nice girl but… we’ve grown apart
You’re a nice girl but…it was never really meant to be
You’re a nice girl but … you’re just a friend
