Thought we were happy, guess I was mistaken Gave you all my love and my attention (Say you dont want me) ´cause something is missing Gave you all you wanted and you know it´s true All that I was doin´ it meant nothing to you And if I dogged you out, we´d probably be cool But I was good to you, so good
First you want a guy that´s real nice That´ll spend all his dough and his time But then you change your mind and want a thug guy That 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 Stayin´ with him but he makes you cry Tell me why
Doesn´t pay to be the good guy
´Cause every time I try to be the good guy You take me for granted, throw me to the side Rather have a man that´ll 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

You´ve gotta be kiddin´ me (no) Been tryin´ to get rid of me I did more for you than any brother would do I was good to you, so good
