And you know it's my only...
Hey, hey - yeah!

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
In the streets, the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
The roaches so big
You know that they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home
I said nice boys
Don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy!
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
She met the man and she did the smack
Paid the price layin' flat on her back
Wanted so bad just to please the boys
They ended up just being a toy
Played so hard burned her life away
Lies were told no promises made
You know nice boys
Don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy and I never was!
Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get around
But now she lays in a filthy room
She kills the pain with
A flick and a spoon
And 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
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
You pack your bags
You gotta move, You gotta move
You stole your mama's car
You gotta move, You gotta move
You're on the streets
I'm always buyin'
You gotta move, you gotta move

It ain't easy livin' like a gypsy
You always got your tail on the wag
It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
Bald as an egg at eighteen
It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
Bald as an egg at eighteen
It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
1,2,1,2,3,4
[whistle]
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
Said, woman, take it slow
I sit here on the stairs
Said, woman, take it slow
[whistle]
I've been walkin' the streets at night
I used to love her
I used to love her, ooh, yeah
I used to love her
I used to love her
Ow!
Say where ya goin? What you gonna do?
You're crazy, hey, hey
Say, boy, where ya comin' from?
You're crazy, hey, hey
1,2,1,2,3,4
Police and niggers, that's right
You're one in a million
Immigrants and faggots
Well some say I'm lazy
You're one in a million
Radicals and racists
You're one in a million
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no baby
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I bet your mama said
"Nice boys don't play rock and roll"
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys!

And you move to the city
There's somethin' missin' here at home
You fix your hair
And you're lookin' real pretty
It's time to get it out on your own
You're always fightin'
With your mama and you papa
Your family life is one big pain!
When you, you gonna move to the city?
Into the city where it all began
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
And your daddy's plastic credit card
You're sixteen and you can't get a job
You're not goin' very far
You're always ridin'
With the teachers and the police
This life is much too insane!
When you, you gonna move to the city?
Into the city where it all began
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
Right to the city
Where the real men get it
Aw, child, ain't it a pity?
Sometimes it gets too shitty!
Come on and hit me!
And it ain't so pretty
You need to get a new what you please
You do what you gotta do for the money
At times you end up on your knees!
With the local and the junkies
This city life is one big pain!
But you, you had to move to the city
Into the city where it all began
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
Oh right to the city
With the real nitty gritty
Aw, child, ain't it a pity?
Sometimes it gets too shitty!
Come on and hit me!

Tell ya, honey, how it feels
I've been dreamin' floatin' down stream
And losin' touch with all that's real
Whole lotta lover, keepin' undercover
Never knowin' where you been-Oo yeah
You've been fadin', always out paradin'
Keep in touch with mama kin!
Spittin' fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out
'Cause someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon
It's so hard to find piece of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You got to say "shee-it"
But don't forget to drop me a line
And workin' for daddy's such a drag
You still stuff your mouth
With his beans
You better check it out or someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon
It's so hard to find piece of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You got to say "shee-it"
But don't forget to drop me a line
It's so hard to find piece of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You got to say "shee-it"
But don't forget to drop me a line
And workin' for daddy's just a drag
You still stuff your mouth
With his beans
You better check it out or someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon
It's so hard to find piece of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You got to say "shee-it"
But don't forget to drop me a line

I'm still all right to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience
Mm, yeah
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider
And things'll be just fine
You an' I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
Because the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it
Oh, I'll never break it
'Cuz i can't take it
...Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah
Need some patience, yeah
Could use some patience, yeah
Gotta have some patience, yeah
All it takes is patience
Just a little patience
Is all you need
Just tryin' to get it right
Hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like
Being stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change
But baby the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you
Yeah, yeah, but I need you
Oooh, I need you
Whoa, I need you
Oooh, all this time
Ah

But I had to kill her
I used to love her, mmm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, ooh, yeah
But I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
Oh yeah, ooh yeah, whoa, oh yeah
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
She bitched so much, she drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way, yeah
Whoa, oh yeah
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, mmm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her, ooh, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

[Whistle]
Guess I needed sometime to get away
I needed some piece of mind
Some piece of mind that'll stay
So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A.
Maybe a Greyhound could be my way
Get out of my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Gold chains today
I don't need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket; 'til then
Won't you cut me some slack?
Yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, much too high
Much too high, yes, ow!
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they'll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran
Or spread some fuckin' disease
They talk so many goddamn ways
It's all Greek to me
And others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
But it's been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end, I
I keep it movin' along
Ooh, you're a shooting star
You're one in a million, babe
You know that you are
Maybe someday we'll see you, ooh
Ooh, before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, ooh, much too high
Yeah
Much too high, huh, no, no, oh
Ow!
Don't point your finger at me
I'm a small town white boy
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't need your religion
Don't watch that much TV
Just makin' my livin', baby
Well that's enough for me
Yeah that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you,
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, ow, much too high
Much too high, much too high
Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, high!
Ow! Much too high
[Oh, much too high, ah
Much too high, ah, much too high
Much too high, ow, much too high]
