Nice Guy Lyrics
Boy, I tried to tell you, but you just wouldn't hear
We've got the house full of ladies and you're acting all queer
We've got your female friends, but you can't get anywhere
I'll tell you one last time, boy, life isn't fair, na-na-na
[Pre-Chorus]
If you feel ashamed, step up your game
You see, she's calling my name, 'cause she's getting bored
She thinks you're a fool for not making moves
God damn, it could have been you, oh, so you're the nice guy?
[Chorus]
I'm gon' get my la-la-la
He's gon' get some la-la-la
All of my boys gon' get their la-la-la
You won't get no na-na-na, nice guy
I'm gon' get my la-la-la
He's gon' get some la-la-la
All of my boys gon' get their la-la-la
You won't get no na-na-na, nice guy
[Verse 2]
I told you many times before but, boy, you did it again
You met a hot-ass girl and turned her into your friend
You bought her drinks, oh Lord, you were ready to spend
I brought her home that night and I should thank you again
'Cause you're the nice guy
If you feel ashamed, step up your game
You see, she's calling my name, 'cause she's getting bored
She thinks you're a fool for not making moves
God damn, it could have been you, oh, so you're the nice guy?
[Chorus]
I'm gon' get my la-la-la
He's gon' get some la-la-la
All of my boys gon' get their la-la-la
You won't get no na-na-na, nice guy
I'm gon' get my la-la-la
He's gon' get some la-la-la
All of my boys gon' get their la-la-la
You won't get no na-na-na, nice guy
[Bridge]
Rule number one, don't ever do it her way
'Cause if you make her do it your way you might do it today
And, rule number two don't ever buy in the bar
'Cause if you buy in the bar, the next thing she wants a car
'Cause you're the nice guy
'Cause you're the nice guy, yeah
'Cause you're the nice guy
'Cause you're the nice guy, yeah
Oh, so you're the nice guy?
I'm gon' get my la-la-la
He's gon' get some la-la-la
All of my boys gon' get their la-la-la
You won't get no na-na-na, nice guy
I'm gon' get my la-la-la
He's gon' get some la-la-la
All of my boys gon' get their la-la-la
You won't get no na-na-na, nice guy
[Outro]
Yeah, you're fucking up for everybody else, nice guy
You're making life a living hell for the rest of us, you know
Being all nice to them ladies and shit, buying them stuff
You know what? You should start being a little less nice
Learn how to be a real man
When you go out you should talk to the ladies like a real man
Don't be all that nice guy
Don't tell me you didn't, 'cause I know you did, nice guy

Lukas Graham on the song:
Det er fortællingen om den stereotype dumpap, der ikke har fattet, hvad piger vil have. De vil ikke have prinsen på den hvide hest, som kun stryger dem med håret og køber dem drinks i baren. Ikke kun Robin Hood, men også Prins John, ha-ha. Det er en reminder til alle mænd, for de fleste af os falder af og til i fælden
In English
It is the story of the stereotypical dumpap who has not understood what girls want. They do not want the prince on the white horse that only skims them with her hair and buys them drinks at the bar. Not only Robin Hood but Prince John, ha-ha. It is a reminder to all men, for most of us sometimes fall into the trap
