I don't understand your thinking I thought we were happy, guess I was mistaken Gave you all my love and my attention Say you don't want me Cuz something is missing Gave you all you wanted and you know it's true All that I was doin' meant nothing to you And if I told you why, we'd probably be cool But I was good to you, so good
But 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 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 every time I'll be right
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
I don't understand your reason Sayin' you love me, then sayin' your leavin' The situation here has really changed me Don't wanna fall in love cuz you play me (oh) You gotta be kiddin' me (no) 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
Plus 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 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 every time I'll be right
I was good to you (I played the fool) Played the fool for you You messed it up for the next girl in my life I'll never do the things I do for you Our love just wasn't true I was good to you, so good to you So good to you Every time I try...
