You Didn't Have To Be So Nice Lyrics

(John Sebastian - Steve Boone)

Verse 1 (backing vocals only on repeat)

You didn't have to be so nice (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)

Chorus:

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

Verse 2:

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

[repeat chorus (instrumental)]

Verse 3:

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...)

Chorus 2:

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

[repeat verse 1, w/background vocals]
