lyrics

The other night you were pining
How you longed to be with him
I said that you've been hiding
Behind your superficial skin
You don't let anybody see
The woman you really are
So you spend your lonely nights
Single at the bar

Sometimes I wonder why I have to be so nice
Why do I have to say everything twice?

You were questioning the motives
Of every guy you'd date
Accusing them of indiscretions
Blaming them for your mistakes
I sat quietly and listened
As you were rambling on
I didn't have the nerve to tell you
Again that you were wrong

Sometimes I wonder why I have to be so nice
Why do I have to say everything twice?

The night was starting to get late
So we finished up our drinks
I asked if you were ok to drive
You smiled and said, "I think"
I said that everything should work out
Once you gained some confidence
In yourself and in your prospects
And used some common sense

Sometimes I wonder why I have to be so nice
Why do I have to say everything twice?
Sometimes I wonder why I have to be so nice
Why do I have to say everything twice?

Everything twice
Everything twice
Everything twice
