You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice Lyrics By The 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
    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 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

    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
