Verse 1
I don't understand your thinking
I thought we were happy, guess I was mistaken
Give you all my love and attention
Say you don't want me cause something is missin'
Gave you all you wanted and you know it's true
All that I was doing meant nothing to you
And it I told you why we'd probably be cool
But I was good to you so good
Pre-Chorus 1
But you want a guy that's real nice
That will spend all his dough and his time
But then you change your mind and want a thug guy
Who won't act right
Stay with him but he makes you cry
Tell me why it doesn't pay to be the good guy
Cause everytime
Chorus
I try to be the good guy
You take me for granted throw me to the side
Rather have a man that will tell you lies
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why should I be the good guy
And get left for the man that don't treat you right
There's nothing good in being good guys
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Verse 2
I don't understand your reason
Say you love me then saying you leavin'
The situation here has really changed me
Don't want to fall in love cause you play me
You gotta be kidding me, you tryin' to get rid of me
I did more for you than any brother would do
I was good to you, so good to you
Pre-Chorus 2
Plau you want a guy that's real nice
That will spend all his dough and his time
But then you change your mind and want a thug guy
Who won't act right
It doesn't pay to be the good guy
You callin' me late nights
Tellin' me how he won't act right
Stay with him but he makes you cry
Tell me why it doesn't pay to be the good guy
Cause everytime
Chorus
I try to be the good guy
You take m |
