Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy!
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean Wanted so bad to be part of the scene She met the man and she did the smack Paid the price layin' flat on her back Wanted so bad just to please the boys They ended up just being a toy Played so hard she burned her life away Lies were told but no promises made You know,
Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy! And I never was
Young and fresh when she hit town Hot for kicks just to get herself around Now she lays in a filthy room Kills the pain with a flick and a spoon In the streets the garbage lies Protected by a million flies You know the roaches so big You know that they got bones Moved in and made a tenement home
