Barry Manilow A Nice Boy Like Me Lyrics

A Nice Boy Like Me Lyrics

Walkin' around uptight and lookin' for noise

Frantic on a Friday night just one of the boys

Phoney defenses, they fall in my way a case of hot fire turnin' to stone

Just a wind up poet with a chip on his shoulder

Meetin' Saturday mornin' alone



Won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me, doin' in a place that never
closes?

I can hardly hear ya' Holy Moses lookin' so sad

Won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me, doin' by the dance floor after
hours?

Dozin' over rows of whiskey sours, feelin' so bad I'm feelin' so bad for me

(What' cha doin' here boy? What' cha doin' here boy?)



Lost in the crowd alone I'm drinkin' my third

I'm hungry for company, but I can't think of the words

Watchin' the girls, my heart in my hands what a misplaced, pitiful sight

Just a stiff upper lip who'll be knowin' tomorrow

What he shoulda' been sayin' tonight



Won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me, doin' in a place that never
closes?

I can hardly hear ya' Holy Moses lookin' so sad

Won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me, doin' by the dance floor after
hours?

Dozin' over rows of whiskey sours, feelin' so bad I'm feelin' so bad for me

(What' cha doin' here boy? What' cha doin' here boy?)



Watchin' the girls, my heart in my hands what a misplaced, pitiful sight

Just a stiff upper lip who'll be knowin' tomorrow

What he shoulda' been sayin' tonight



Won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me, doin' in a place that never
closes?

I can hardly hear ya' Holy Moses lookin' so sad

Now won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me, doin' by the dance floor after
hours?

Dozin' over rows of whiskey sours, feelin' so bad I'm feelin' so bad for me

(What' cha doin' here boy? What' cha doin' here boy?)

I don't know
