you didn't have to be so nice

the lovinspoonful -The Other Side Of This Life
You didnt 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 Id find you in a day or two
And its 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 weve had a few more days
I wonder if Ill get to say
You didnt have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew Id find you in a day or two
And its true
You didnt 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
