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
I knew I'd 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)
