Decent at pleasantries
My heart's in my chest, my Ps and Qs on my sleeves
But I ain't no fool and I ain't naive
You can't tell right from wrong
So I had to write it down for you in a funking love song
I ain't no fool and I ain't naive
You say play nice
Babe, I ain't nice
When I am told to be
And you like your women sweet
Dolled up and gagged in dirty magazines
Well, I ain't no silent doll and I ain't that sweet
You say play nice
Babe, I stay nice
Until I need to be mean
You think I'm nice
That's a dirty lie
You've been told to believe
That I'm sugar, syrup, saccharine
(Saccharine)
That I'm all lavender and tangerine
(Tangerine)
But if you tell me to smile please
(So sweet)
I'll make sure to show you my teeth
And play nice
Babe, I'm as nice as a guillotine
You say play nice
Babe, I'm as nice as gasoline
You say play nice
You say play nice
(Play nice)
Play nice
Play nice
(Play nice)
Play nice
Play nice
(Play nice)
Play nice
Play nice
