I used to walk you to your door to make sure you got home safe
Held you and kissed you on the porch, my arms around your waist
Used to drive on home
And I'd think of you with that smile on your face

I heard he always drops you off at the stop sign on Sixteenth
Your folks don't know you're with him and you're hoping that they never meet
Saw you walking home
By the faded lights on the side of the street

And you say you don't care but I know you
Didn't think he'd be the one that you'd go to
Never thought you would be scared when I told you
Told you that you are the one that I'd hold forever but
Nice guys finish last
And I'm the nice guy you never gave a chance

I used to give you everything, I'd give you all of me
How'd we go from every day to you saying you can't talk to me
Now I drive on home
Wishing you were still in the passenger seat

And you say you don't care but I know you
Didn't think he'd be the one that you'd go to
Never thought you would be scared when I told you
Told you that you are the one that I'd hold forever but
Nice guys finish last
And I'm the nice guy you never gave a chance

Never gave me a chance
(Nice guys finish last)
Never gave me a chance, no
No you never gave a chance

And you say you don't care but I know you (I know you)
Didn't think he'd be the one that you'd go to (Didn't think he'd the one)
Never thought you would be scared when I told you
Told you that you are the one that I'd hold forever but
Nice guys finish last
And I'm the nice guy you never gave a chance
