Guess Who - She Might Have Been a Nice Girl lyrics

rate me

(Burton Cummings)<br />

<br />

She might have been a nice girl<br />

If she hadn't had a draggy mother<br />

She might have been a good chick<br />

If she hadn't had a rotten father<br />

She might have played the right hunch<br />

If she hadn't been so narrow-minded<br />

She might have had a whole bunch<br />

If she hadn't been so far behind it<br />

Oh does it hurt when you know you can't play it the way that your beau knows<br />

Oh does it hurt when you know you can't say it the way that your beau knows<br />

And you know that that's the way that the show goes<br />

And you know it really has to go on.<br />

<br />

She drank the army's red wine<br />

But she never found a moment's pleasure<br />

She smelled the salty sea brine<br />

But she never found the buried treasure<br />

She might have played the chords right<br />

But the song was never meant for singing<br />

She might have really broke loose<br />

But she never made it past the clinging<br />

I can see that it hurts when you know you can't play it the way that your beau knows<br />

I can see that it hurts when you know you can't say it the way that your beau knows<br />

And you know that that's the way that the show goes<br />

And you know it really has to go on.<br />

<br />

<br />
