Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh ohh



I don't understand your thinking

Thought we were happy, guess I was mistaken

Gave you all my love and my attention,

Say you dont want me, cuz 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



1 - Don't 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



2 - Cuz Everytime 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' you're leavin'

The situation here is really changin'

Don't wanna fall in love cuz you play me (oh)

You gotta be kiddin' me (no)

Been tryin' to get rid of me

I did more for you than any brotha would do

I was good to you, so good



Repeat 1

Repeat 2

Repeat 2



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 (Guitar rip!!)

Everytime I try...



Repeat 2 to fade
