She hit town like a rose in bloom Smellin' sweet, said sweet perfume The color faded and the petals died Down in the city, no one cried In the streets, the garbage lies Protected by a million flies The roaches so big You know that they got bones They moved in and made a tenement home
I said nice boys Don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy!
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean Wanted so bad to be part of the scene She met the man and she did the smack Paid the price layin' flat on her back Wanted so bad just to please the boys They ended up just being a toy Played so hard burned her life away Lies were told no promises made
You know nice boys Don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy and I never was!
Young and fresh when she hit town Hot for kicks just to get around But now she lays in a filthy room She kills the pain with A flick and a spoon And in the streets the garbage lies Protected by a million flies You know the roaches so big You know that they got bones Moved in and made a tenement home
Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no baby Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I bet you mama said 'Nice boys don't play rock and roll' Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys!
