Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's too late now, it's twenty past two
I spent the night just watchin' you
I watched you dance, I watched you move
Can't breath and still I watched you move away
[Verse 2]
Now I think quite a lot as I stare at my shoes
About all these things that I put myself through
There's nothing to say, and there's nothing to do
You're just too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
[Verse 3]
The Radcliffs wouldn't come after you
I glance but you just stared me through
Felt such a fool I felt you knew
But you might tell me to go away
Now I think quite a lot of my own point of view
Is that all I have that's in common with you?
Emotions so guarded
My heart is retarded
You're too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
[Verse 4]
This evenin' hasn't gone like I planned
Should I take this situation in hand
Can't go on, but I can't seem to dance
You chain my feet, I stamp, and stamp, and stamp
Because nothing I do ever seems to be right
The same dance of mine every Saturday night
Out the window you might say I'm out of my mind
But you're too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
Too nice
