A Nice Boy Like Me lyrics
Songwriters: Manilow, Barry; Anderson;

Walkin around uptight and lookin for noise
Frantic on a Friday night just one of the boys
Phoney defenses, they fall in my way a case of hot fire turnin to stone
Just a wind up poet with a chip on his shoulder
Meetin Saturday mornin alone

Won?t you tell me what s a nice boy like me, doin in a place that never closes?
I can hardly hear ya Holy Moses lookin so sad
Won?t you tell me what s a nice boy like me, doin by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin over rows of whiskey sours, feelin so bad I m feelin so bad for me
(What cha doin here boy? What cha doin here boy?)

Lost in the crowd alone I m drinkin my third
I m hungry for company, but I can t think of the words
Watchin the girls, my heart in my hands what a misplaced, pitiful sight
Just a stiff upper lip who ll be knowin tomorrow
What he shoulda been sayin tonight

Won?t you tell me what s a nice boy like me, doin in a place that never closes?
I can hardly hear ya Holy Moses lookin so sad
Won?t you tell me what s a nice boy like me, doin by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin over rows of whiskey sours, feelin so bad I m feelin so bad for me
(What cha doin here boy? What cha doin here boy?)

Watchin the girls, my heart in my hands what a misplaced, pitiful sight
Just a stiff upper lip who ll be knowin tomorrow
What he shoulda been sayin tonight

Won?t you tell me what s a nice boy like me, doin in a place that never closes?
I can hardly hear ya Holy Moses lookin so sad
Now won?t you tell me what s a nice boy like me, doin by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin over rows of whiskey sours, feelin so bad I m feelin so bad for me
(What cha doin here boy? What cha doin here boy?)
I don t know
