I wish I had been that creep that you

wanted me to be

I wish I would've cheated and lied

If only I had been that creep that you

wanted me to be

You'd still be here by my side

(chorus) But nice guys finish last,

it's a clich but it's true

The good guys always get the shaft,

they never get the girl like you

I should've tried a little harder,

but I didn't know the game

My mom and daddy raised me right so I guess

they're part to blame

I should've treated you like you treated me when

you tore my heart in tow

You should have stayed a little longer

You could have taught me how to lie

We could have been the perfect couple I am sure

I would've been your favorite creep, I would've

been your perfect guy

I would've been what you hate living life most for

(chorus)

I wish I had been that creep that

wanted me to be

I wish I would've cheated and lied

If only I had been that creep that you

wanted me to be

You'd still be here by my side
