"Don't Be Nice To Me" lyrics - NICK LOWE

Don't be nice to me
I'm undeserving of your kind attention
Don't be nice to me
Better you pass me by

I just put paid to the chance of love in a million
And if you're nice to me you'll only have me crying

Don't be nice to me
Thank you for the invitation
Don't be nice to me
Sorry I can't stay

When I find a rock big enough for me to crawl under
I'm gonna hang a sign outside to the world: "stay away"

Don't be nice to me
If only life could be
Like a walk in the park
To the trill of a lark on the wing on high

Don't be nice to me
'Cause I can't guarantee
That what you'll find
Won't blow your mind
If you're too kind

Don't be nice to me
Yes, I need a ride to the station
Don't be nice to me
But I'd rather walk in the rain, yeah

Now I know I'm acting like a big galoot
And it'll all work out in time
But if you're nice to me
Get ready to see me cry
Cry, cry
Cry and cry
Cry, baby
Don't be nice to me
