Nice Boys

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She hit town like a rose in bloom Smellin' sweet, said, sweet perfume The color faded and the petals died Down in the city, no one cried [Pre-Chorus] In the streets, the garbage lies Protected by a million flies The roaches so big, you know that they got bones Moved in and made a tenement home [Chorus] I said, nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll I'm not a nice boy [Verse 2] Sweet sixteen, she was fresh and clean Wanted so bad to be part of the scene Met the man and she did the smack Paid the price laying flat on her back [Pre-Chorus] Wanted so bad just to please the boys Ended up just bein' a toy Played so hard, she burned her life away Lies were told and no promises made [Chorus] You know, nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll I'm not a nice boy and I never was [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Young and fresh when she hit town Hot for kicks and just to get her ass around But now she lays in a filthy room She kills the pain with a flick and a spoon [Pre-Chorus] In the streets, the garbage lies Protected by a million flies You know the roaches so big, you know that they got bones Moved in and made a tenement home [Chorus] Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll [Bridge] Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys never play rock 'n' roll I'll bet your mama said "Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll" [Chorus] Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys, they don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll Nice boys
