You Didn't Have To Be So Nice Lyrics - Singles - Lovin Spoonful

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 (ooh) 

You simply seemed to take your place (ooh) 

I knew that it would be that way (ooh) 

The minute that I saw your face (ooh) 

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)
