Lyrics

She hit town like a rose in bloom
Smellin' sweet, said sweet perfume
The color faded the petals died
Down in the city no one cried
In the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
The roaches so big you know that they got bones
Moved in and made a tenement home, I said

Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy!

Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
She met the man and she did the smack
Paid the price layin' flat on her back
Wanted so bad just to please the boys
They ended up just being a toy
Played so hard she burned her life away
Lies were told but no promises made
You know

Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy!
And I never was

Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get herself around
Now she lays in a filthy room
Kills the pain with a flick and a spoon
In the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
You know the roaches so big
You know that they got bones
Moved in and made a tenement home

Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Na na na na na na, baby
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'll bet your mamma said, nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
