lyrics
It must be nice
To be the sharpest clipper in the shed
Take my advice
Or did you hear a single word I said?
Must be nice
To be the pretty face of a beautiful mind
But there’s a price
When the face becomes the leader from behind
Must be nice
Must be cool
Must rise above
Must be nice
Mustn’t be a fool
Unless you’re a fool for love
It must be nice
To hear what comes out here but say it there
You roll the dice that you don’t
But someone always cares
Must be nice
To never ever let ‘em see you sweat
Under the lights
We see we deserve just what we get
Must be nice
Must be cool
Must rise above
Must be nice
Mustn’t be a fool
Unless you’re a fool for love
Claim self-defense for severance
Incompetence can’t hide forever
Dollars and cents no recompense
For the offense
Forgive, forget, for never
Must be nice
Must be cool
Must rise above
Must be nice
Mustn’t be a fool
Unless you’re a fool for love
You’re a fool
To be the sharpest clipper in the shed
Take my advice
Or did you hear a single word I said?
Must be nice
To be the pretty face of a beautiful mind
But there’s a price
When the face becomes the leader from behind
Must be nice
Must be cool
Must rise above
Must be nice
Mustn’t be a fool
Unless you’re a fool for love
It must be nice
To hear what comes out here but say it there
You roll the dice that you don’t
But someone always cares
Must be nice
To never ever let ‘em see you sweat
Under the lights
We see we deserve just what we get
Must be nice
Must be cool
Must rise above
Must be nice
Mustn’t be a fool
Unless you’re a fool for love
Claim self-defense for severance
Incompetence can’t hide forever
Dollars and cents no recompense
For the offense
Forgive, forget, for never
Must be nice
Must be cool
Must rise above
Must be nice
Mustn’t be a fool
Unless you’re a fool for love
You’re a fool
