Girls dance on the floor
But the guys they aren't so sure
I know exactly what it means to me
I'm gonna join the pick up university
I'll keep it simple keep it honest
That's exactly how i started
You can be the man who doesn't plan
And takes a day with his hands
You can be an asshole it's passable
The only thing you have to do
Or you can be a nice guy a gentleman
You'll surely never ever win
Cause I don't wanna be your friend, be your friend
Cause the nice guys never win
Not the bottom of your glass, sinking fast
Cause the nice guys finish last
Long nights and bloody eyes
Next to you till sunrise
I'll keep it simple keep it honest
That's exactly how i started
I'll be the man who doesn't plan
And takes a day with his hands
I'll be an asshole it's passable
I know you dig the attitude
You can be a gentlemen, a gentleman
To get her attention
But the nice guys finish last
Yea the nice guys finish last
All I want, I want it all
Cause I don't wanna be your friend, be your friend
Cause the nice guys never win
Not the bottom of your glass, sinking fast
Cause the nice guys finish last
