Good Guy

Used to be as a teenager the good guys finished last The girls liked us as friends, but preferred guys Who were trouble and fast I always stood just watching Yeah, that was in the past Time went on; I got smarter as I got older Yet, the girls didn’t want the quiet smart ones They still wanted ones bolder That one girl, well she’d miss out Or at least that’s what I told her Not trusting who I was Or what I aimed to be I never understood Why couldn’t she just see That I was worth the time If she’d just give me a try One day she will regret Turning down this… good guy I saw her in a parking lot, just the other day Years were not that kind to her But I was too good to say I asked her of her life She just walked away I heard her guy of choosing was serving 5 to 10 For attempted murder of a guy That she considered a friend Look at her now, I feel bad Her life is a dead end Not trusting who I was Or what I aimed to be I never understood Why couldn’t she just see That I was worth the time If she’d just give me a try One day she will regret Turning down this… good guy I really hope her life improves In any way, just some how Cause I didn’t have the heart To say I’m a lawyer now Oh, well
