Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh ohh

I don´t understand your thinking
I thought we were happy, guess I was mistaken
Gave you all my love and my attention
Say you don´t want me
Cuz something is missing
Gave you all you wanted and you know it´s true
All that I was doin´ meant nothing to you
And if I told you why, we´d probably be cool
But I was good to you, so good

But you want a guy that´s real nice
That´ll spend all his dough and his time
But then you change your mind and want a thug guy
Who won´t act right
It doesn´t pay to be the good guy

You callin´ me late nights
Tellin´ me how he won´t act right
Stay with him but he makes you cry
Tell me why
It doesn´t pay to be the good guy
´Cause every time I´ll be right

I try to be the good guy
You take me for granted,throw me to the side
Rather have a man that´ll tell you lies
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

Why should I be the good guy
And get left for the man that don´t treat you right
There´s nothing good in being good guys
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

I don´t understand your reason
Sayin´ you love me, then sayin´ your leavin´
The situation here has really changed me
Don´t wanna fall in love cuz you play me (oh)
You gotta be kiddin´ me (no)
You tryin´ to get rid of me
I did more for you than any brother would do
I was good to you, so good to you

Plus you want a guy that´s real nice
That´ll spend all his dough and his time
But then you change your mind and want a thug guy
Who won´t act right
It doesn´t pay to be the good guy

You callin´ me late nights
Tellin´ me how he won´t act right
Stay with him but he makes you cry
Tell me why
It doesn´t pay to be the good guy
´Cause every time I´ll be right

I was good to you (I played the fool)
Played the fool for you
You messed it up for the next girl in my life
I´ll never do the things I do for you
Our love just wasn´t true
I was good to you, so good to you
So good to you
Every time I try...
