The Lovin' Spoonful - You Didn't Have To Be So Nice lyrics

You didn't have to be so nice I would have liked you anyway If you had just looked once or twice And gone upon your quiet way Today I said the time was right for me to follow you I knew I'd find you in a day or two And it's true You came upon a quiet day You simply seemed to take your place I knew that it would be that way The minute that I saw your face And when we've had a few more days (When we've had a few more days) I wonder if I'll get to say (Wonder if I'll get to say) You didn't have to be so nice (Be so nice) I would have liked you anyway (Would have liked) Today I said the time was right for me to follow you (Today, said that the time was right to follow you) I knew I'd find you in a day or two (I knew that I would find you in a day or two) And it's true You didn't have to be so nice (Didn't have to be so nice) I would have liked you anyway (Would have liked you anyway) If you had just looked once or twice (Once or twice) And gone upon your quiet way (Quiet way)
