Song language: English
She Might Have Been a Nice Girl |
| She might have been a nice girl |
| If she hadn’t had a draggy mother |
| She might have been a good chick |
| If she hadn’t had a rotten father |
| She might have played the right hunch |
| If she hadn’t been so narrow-minded |
| She might have had a whole bunch |
| If she hadn’t been so far behind it |
| Oh does it hurt when you know you can’t play it the way that your beau knows |
| Oh does it hurt when you know you can’t say it the way that your beau knows |
| And you know that that’s the way that the show goes |
| And you know it really has to go on. |
| She drank the army’s red wine |
| But she never found a moment’s pleasure |
| She smelled the salty sea brine |
| But she never found the buried treasure |
| She might have played the chords right |
| But the song was never meant for singing |
| She might have really broke loose |
| But she never made it past the clinging |
| I can see that it hurts when you know you can’t play it the way that your beau |
| knows |
| I can see that it hurts when you know you can’t say it the way that your beau |
| knows |
| And you know that that’s the way that the show goes |
| And you know it really has to go on. |
