Being Nice

Well, I don't stand up for myself enough.

I was raised to be the better person.

Where has it got me?

These old men'll say whatever they want;

do whatever they please.

Expect me to roll over

like a welcome mat at their feet.

Well I'm tired of getting walked all over,

dirty looks and colder shoulders,

for being nice.

May look sweet and quiet to the eye,

but push me too far,

and you'll know why.

Karma's a bitch and so am I.

Funny still how speaking out's a crime.

But if I'm not too much, I'm too stand-off-ish.

How can I ever win?

I'm just sick of hearing how I need a man to survive.

Well if I've made it this far,

I think I'll make it out alive.

Well I'm tired of getting walked all over,

dirty looks and colder shoulders,

for being nice.

May look sweet and quiet to the eye,

but push me too far,

and you'll know why.

Karma's a bitch and so am I-I-I.

Oh my oh my-y-y.

Oh, why do I even try-y-y

being nice?

Oh, why do I even try?
